Narrative

It follows Rupert Campbell-Black and Tony Baddingham as they have a long-standing rivalry that comes to a head. Coincidentally, Aidan Turner had already filmed at Chavenage House (The Priory in Rivals). The same filming location was also used to represent Trenwith House in the 2015 BBC TV adaptation of Poldark. I really enjoyed this series, I watched the whole series in two days. I couldn’t pick one character that stood out, all the actors are doing a fantastic job. I thought their facial expressions and dialogue delivery really added to the story. Being an 80s fan, the decor, clothing and of course the use of music was a fantastic bonus. Whoever was in charge of the music – you are a genius. The pacing of certain songs was perfect. For me the erotic scenes could have been less explicit, which is why I’m giving it 9 stars instead of 10. I really hope they make a new season, I can’t wait to watch it!
