  DISNEY'S RIVALS SERIES  
ANNOUNCES STELLAR CAST
If you are in the mood for a Dynasty style 80's glam soap opera Disney + has announced cast for their new series RIVALS which, based on the novel by Jilly Cooper, follows the drama, excess, and shocking antics of the power-grabbing social elite of 1980s England. It dives headfirst into the ruthless world of independent television in 1986. In the fictional county of Rutshire, along-standing rivalry between two powerful men is about to boil over. Alex Hassell plays dashing ex-Olympian, Tory Member of Parliament and

incorrigible rake, the dangerously charismatic Rupert Campbell-Black. David Tennant is Ruperts ambitious and egotistical Rutshire neighbour Lord Tony Baddingham, controller of Corinium Television. A long-simmering power struggle between them threatens to boil over when the two men lock horns over the future of Corinium. Caught in the crossfire is TV presenter Declan OHara, (Aidan Turner).

Katherine Parkinson is Lizzie Vereker, a romantic novelist consistently overlooked by her preening and self-centred TV presenter husband, James Vereker (Oliver Chris).

Freddie's got the money, but finds himself, along with his social-climbing wife Valerie (Lisa McGrillis), an outsider to Rutshires cliques. But when Rupert

Claire Rushbrook is Lady Monica Baddingham, Tonys dependable, upper-crust wife who has absolutely no interest in the dramatic goings-on within her husbands empire.

  NETFLIX' SWEET TOOTH 
SEASON 2 TRAILER & AIR DATE
I must admit I fully forgot about this one as the break was so long and the first season was nothing special, but SWEET TOOTH is returning to Netflix April 27th with a second season in which a deadly new wave of the Sick bears down, as Gus (Christian Convery) and a band of fellow hybrids are held prisoner by General Abbot (Neil Sandilands) and the Last Men. Looking to consolidate power by finding a cure, Abbot uses the children as fodder for the experiments of captive Dr. Aditya Singh (the godawful Adeel Akhtar), who’s racing to save his infected wife Rani (Aliza Vellani). To protect his friends, Gus agrees to help Dr. Singh, beginning a dark journey into his origins and his mother Birdie’s (Amy Seimetz) role in the events leading up to The Great Crumble.

    1. It is watchable, but generally dull and boring and most of the characters are unlikeable.

    2. Then I'll probably just end up deleting it then. The last thing I need is to waste time on a show that isn't great.

    1. You did know, I wrote about it many times, you just forgot. It is not exactly for kids even though it looks like it, it is way too dark for kids.
