Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) It sags a bit towards the end, when the script concerns itself more with the business of regional television franchises than love and lust and shirtless hunks. But, on the whole, it’s a marvellous antidote to modern life. Rated: 5/5 Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Carol Midgley Times (UK) Buckle up — it is a daft but highly entertaining watch. Rated: 4/5 Oct 9, 2024 Full Review Nick Curtis London Evening Standard Rivals is gloriously trashy and arch, the epitome of guilty-pleasure TV, everyone smoking and smirking in between the schtupping. Rated: 4/5 Oct 8, 2024 Full Review Jeff Ewing Collider It may take a moment to link up with certain characters, and for interwoven setups to start paying off in satisfying ways, but the ride is charming enough, making Rivals a love letter to extravagance and its perils worth tuning in to. Rated: 8/10 Oct 9, 2024 Full Review Lacy Baugher Paste Magazine A scandalous, uninhibited romp from its very first scenes, its story is full of betrayal, ambition, greed, and excess in all the best possible ways. Rated: 8.9/10 Oct 8, 2024 Full Review Gavia Baker-Whitelaw TV Guide Rivals wears its ugly side on its sleeve, letting David Tennant sink his teeth into a juicy villain role while embracing the shameless entertainment value of a primetime soap. Rated: 6.9/10 Oct 8, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
