RIVALS (Jilly Cooper's Disney Plus Series) - The Popcorn Junkies SERIES Review (SPOILERS)

[@christianjohnson5708]

Yes Nadia felt the same about Rupert couldn’t stand him to begin with and loved him by the last few eps, same with Tennant loved him then hated him

I’ve been such a huge fan of these books for years and I was so excited for this series and it didn’t disappoint. I cannot wait for season 2! And Riders WAS made into a tv movie in 1993. I wasn’t sure about Alex Hassell at first as Rupert has always been described as blonde and I just never pictured him looking like Alex at all. But by the end of the first episode I got over it and thought he was brilliant. And Danny Dyer was fantastic as Freddie Jones.

I’ve loved “Rivals” so easy to watch and I even had a crush on Rupert by the end 😂

[@PassiveAgressive319]

It was a bloody good romp. Just like her books. Great casting

[@Spitfiresammons]

I just finished watching Rivals I can’t wait for the build up of series 2 next year.

[@juliewigley5781]

I agree with EVERYTHING you said. The only disappointment, for me, is that not everyone will have access to it. That’s such a massive shame

[@sawalhaadderleys]

agree - but the BBC is now no longer capable of making this sort of stuff xx

[@juliewigley5781]

@@sawalhaadderleysDamn straight. They’d take up half of the airtime with the ‘warnings’ 😂

Do what I’ve done & take out a £4.99 membership for 1 month & cancel before the renewal date - I promise you it’s the best £4.99 you’ll ever spend as I absolutely wholeheartedly agree with Nadia & Mark it’s truly a magnificent watch 👍🤗

[@catherinecronin650]

Absolutely loved this show!!! ❤❤❤

[@lana-theinconsideratecripp3551]

I loved it! I have a nearly 7 month old so I needed something to watch when nap trapped etc and watched it (with my AirPods in ) in pretty much one day 😂

[@elliot_gonzalez]

Completely agree with all your points. Was a fantastic series with each character superbly cast and written. And Mark I agree with your point about how this shows the world of TV brilliantly, I usually don’t like series that fictionalise the television industry.

[@elaineginolfi9423]

[@melaniebrown5692]

I loved it even a cheeky cameo bit with jilly Cooper xx

[@lisapain2182]

Rupert Campbell Black not how I would have imagined him. Danny Dyer though!!

[@lana-theinconsideratecripp3551]

Also! Victoria Smurfit is amazing! She played cruella in ONCE and she was amazing then too!

[@shaunnaroche2505]

I didnt know anything about the books (born in 1993) but watched it mainly because of david tennant-what an amazing series! Thoroughly enjoyed it!

[@LsterWhiteMonke]

Great review. I really enjoyed being able to watch something fun which developed each episode to suck you in with a great script and fab acting. And not a mobile phone in sight

[@christianjohnson5708]

I saw Dee Koppang O’Leary was a director on some of the episodes, they got quite excited about it on This Morning probably why it was so female strong

[@VintageVerbiage-s5n]

Yes ‘none of those stupid cups’ 😂 I can’t wait to watch this 🙂 Fab and cheeky review 🤩

[@lynnesheard8895]
