Rivals

“I know, I know, you saw “British period series” and the immediately paused but this is the 80s baby, and Downton Abbey* it is not. Rivals is sexy, soapy and surprising enough to power you through an overnight cluster feeding session. And if teaching your newborn about the ins and outs of British television franchising isn’t enough incentive, may I also offer Aidan Turner’s mustache for consideration? The only downside is that we waited two years for a six episode season. The people (and babies) demand more! *Also, not to be confused with Heated Rivalry (when I first turned it on, my husband asked where the hockey players were).”

“British, soapy, great characters, and Aidan Turner. Need I say more?!”

“the scenery. the music. the yearning. the dialogue. an absolute delight.”
