Rivals
On Disney+
A glossy, energetic 1980s period drama balancing romantic entanglement with professional ambition in the world of British television and politics, pitched as lighthearted despite its cutthroat setting.
It is 1986 and Britain is booming. "Rivals" dives headfirst into the cutthroat world of TV where hair-dos are big and ambitions are even bigger. Deals are brokered in boardrooms, as well as bedrooms. Nobody can be sure who will come out on top. With every man and woman out only for themselves, can true love really blossom?
