Our Review
The Jilly Cooper adaptation nobody expected and everybody loved: 1980s British TV executives at war over ratings, horses, and each other, with the poshest, horniest soap energy on television. Alex Hassell’s Rupert Campbell Black and David Tennant’s scheming Lord Baddingham tear through every scene they share.
Big, silly, gorgeous looking fun with real dramatic teeth underneath the romps. A second season was inevitable.
Our take: 8/10.
