📺Rivals: Episode 1 Season 1 Recap | 📖Jilly Cooper's Rutshire Chronicles come to life S01E01

Описание: Get ready for the wild ride that is Rivals, the 1980s period drama you didn’t know you needed! This new Hulu series, based on Jilly Cooper’s hit novel, kicks off with a bang—literally. The first episode wastes no time diving into scandal with a steamy, mile-high encounter between a journalist and a charming bad boy in a Concorde bathroom.

Set in the flashy world of British high society, Rivals blends ruthless business rivalries, romance, and plenty of behind-closed-doors action. With a cast led by David Tennant (Doctor Who), Aidan Turner, and more familiar faces, it’s not just about the drama—there's a lot of witty banter and sharp dialogue, too.

If you’re a fan of messy, high-stakes drama, Rivals is going to be your new obsession. And if you're a fan of the book, you're going to love watching Taggie and Rupert in real life.
