34/15

Coincidentally, Aidan Turner has previously filmed at Chavenage House (The Priory in Rivals)

Tale

Follow Rupert Campbell-Black and Tony Baddingham as they have a long-standing rivalry that comes to a head. The same location was also used to represent Trenwith House in the BBC’s 2015 TV adaptation of Poldark.

5 minutes into the first episode I was hooked

When I first saw Rivals coming out I squealed with excitement. I was nervous too ~ I was a fan of the books.

The clothes, the make-up, the music ~ what a soundtrack

Each episode is fast paced, there are no times where you get bored or feel like it’s dragged out, as is often the case with many of these mini-series. The characters are all so unique and well played, the acting and casting are fabulous.

This show is fun, bold, colorful and nostalgic

I understand the disappointment of changing Rupert’s “look” but it’s really not a big deal, or has any lasting impact in my opinion. It doesn’t disappoint at all, and can we just take a moment to appreciate David Tennent playing the “bad guy” perfectly once again.

Please let there be more to come
