Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Nov, 18:31 · Archive
The British series Rivals, based on Jilly Cooper's bestselling novels, is releasing the second part of its second season on Disney Plus.
Rivals, the British series based on Jilly Cooper's 'bonkbuster' bestselling novels, is returning this week for the second part of its bifurcated second season on Disney Plus. The show is known for its over-the-top storytelling, elaborate fashions with prominent shoulder pads, numerous affairs and high-camp melodrama.
The second part has escalated the show's typical style. According to the review, everything about it is 'dialled up to 10' and the production has 'one-upped itself for part two'. Plot developments include sequences such as a character watching a show with a loaded shotgun before killing peacocks.
The cast includes some of the UK's finest acting talent, with names like David Tennant, Katherine Parkinson, Danny Dyer and Aidan Turner lending their considerable talents to the production. Their presence gives the show a sense of gravitas that contrasts with the outlandish plot developments, their performances serving as a counterbalance to storytelling that might otherwise be rendered as hammy or ridiculous.
