Synopsis
It follows Rupert Campbell-Black and Tony Baddingham as their long-standing rivalry comes to a head. Coincidentally, Aidan Turner had previously filmed at Chavenage House (the Priory in Rivals). The same filming location was used to depict Trenwith House in the BBC TV adaptation of Poldark in 2015. I really enjoyed this series, I watched the whole thing in two days. I couldn’t pick one character that stands out, all the actors do a fantastic job. I thought their facial expressions and dialogue delivery really added to the story. Being a fan of the 80’s, the decor, clothing and of course the use of music was a fantastic bonus. Whoever was in charge of the music: you’re a genius. The timing of certain songs was perfect. For me, the erotic scenes could have been less explicit, that’s why I give it 9 stars instead of 10. I really hope there is a new season, I can’t wait to watch it!
