Rivals: A Look at 1986's Cutthroat TV World
Set in 1986 Britain, Rivals dives headfirst into the intense world of independent television. It centers on a fierce feud between Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell), a womanizing former Olympian, and Tony Baddingham (Tennant), the powerful controller of Corinium Television. It’s eight episodes of backstabbing, romance, and epic personal clashes—a juicy mix that clearly resonated strongly with those viewers and critics; producing that awesome Rotten Tomatoes rating!
The series, adapted from Jilly Cooper's novel by Dominic Treadwell-Collins, boasts an all-star cast including Aidan Turner, Katherine Parkinson, Lisa McGrillis, Nafessa Williams, Emily Atack, and Danny Dyer; making the show’s initial cast lineup rather surprising; adding another dimension to how the project might proceed.
Why Rivals Is Already a Streaming Hit
It’s still early, of course, and viewers still need to find out what could happen regarding its later episodes. It might get additional seasons if enough audiences discover and find these episodes appealing and exciting! Yet those initial rankings, even in this early timeframe shows immense appeal and demonstrates just why Rivals deserves more attention.
It might very well keep trending upward and be popular, potentially earning the opportunity to launch future installments. It feels as if it could last longer, even achieving season 2 if those audience numbers hold steady over the months! This looks to be Tennant's latest victory on screen, adding an impressive drama to that amazing range of skills!
