For the unversed, Rivals, which is adaptation of Jilly Cooper’s novel of the same name, is set in Rutshire, a fictional English county, where Lord Tony Baddingham (David Tennant) has been in a rivalry with Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell), impacting the world of the Corinium television station.

The series is considered controversial as it features explicit content and has a racy theme, showcasing sexual situations of the 1980s high-class English people.

Rivals, although being controversial, is receiving positive reviews from both critics and viewers. The show airs on Disney+ and Hulu.
