Rivals viewers heap praise on Danny Dyer as they declare he ‘shouldn’t be wasted on just soaps anymore’ – and even demand a spin-off show for his character
As someone who has spent countless hours engrossed in the world of television and literature, I must say that the buzz surrounding the new Disney+ series “Rivals” has certainly piqued my interest. The racy scenes, the star-studded cast, and the tantalizing hints of a potential sequel have all combined to create an irresistible blend that any bonkbuster enthusiast like myself can’t help but be drawn to.
Viewers watching the eagerly awaited Disney+ version of Jilly Cooper’s 1988 novel Rivals over the weekend have lauded Danny Dyer’s performance.
47-year-old EastEnders actor takes on the role of Freddie Jones in a series that unfolds in 1986, delving into the ruthless realm of the television industry.
As a devoted fan, I can’t help but acknowledge the captivating dynamic between polo enthusiast Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell) and the charming Lord Tony Baddingham (David Tennant), yet it’s the exceptional performance of Danny that truly stands out to me in this series.
He plays the role of Freddie an electronics businessman extraordinaire – a character viewers have said he plays with ‘nuance’, while other have demanded a spin-off show just for his part.
Audience members can’t get enough of Danny Dyer in the series #Rivals! They’ve been expressing their enthusiasm on X by saying, ‘Danny Dyer is such a delight to watch. We want more of this character, please, keep him away from soap operas and football-related roles.’
‘It’s taken me three episodes to realise who Danny Dyer is playing, he is that good #Rivals.’
It’s noteworthy that Danny Dyer’s acting skills are often underestimated; his portrayal of characters, particularly in #Rivals, is truly captivating with its depth and emotional resonance.
I haven’t really liked Danny Dyer, but his performance in “#rivals” has me rooting for him. If he ends up with Katherine Parkinson instead, I’ll be quite upset!
‘Danny Dyer in a dodgy wig singing Bat out of Hell is one of the scenes of the year #rivals.’,
‘Danny Dyer and Katherine Parkinson are the best things in #Rivals.’,
‘So, I’m really liking Danny Dyer in #Rivals.’,
‘@DisneyPlus time to commission a #dannydyer Freddie Jones spin off? #Rivals.’
‘danny dyer absolutely knocked it out of the park in #rivals !!!!.’
‘The more RIVALS I watch the more I can see that Danny Dyer is a national treasure.’
At Lord Baddingham’s rustic estate, the drama unfolds as the characters navigate heated relationships and unrequited passions in the series of events depicted in the show.
Some viewers expressed their excitement online about the provocative sequences in the program, particularly a tennis game with no clothes involved, starring Cooper’s renowned rogue character, Campbell-Black, and Emily Atack’s character, Sarah Stratton.
One viewer was lost for words, simply declaring: ‘THE NAKED TENNIS SCENE!’
People mentioned that they became instantly captivated by the series from the very first scene, with one individual commenting: “I was immediately drawn in as soon as RCB stepped out of the lavatory on the Concorde and confidently walked down the aisle while ‘Addicted to Love’ played.
‘Just perfect.’
Another social media user joked they were watching Rivals for ‘the plot’, alongside shirtless pictures of Aidan Turner and Hassell.
Most people concurred that the Disney+ original series was highly suitable for binge-watching. One individual expressed it as follows: “I rarely binge-watch shows, but I recently completed Rivals. It’s incredibly engaging, and I can’t get enough of it.
The racy eight-part series is based on Dame Jilly’s raunchy 1988 novel, and follows the cutthroat world of independent television in 1986.
The book from the Rutshire Chronicles series reached number one on the charts and surpassed sales of over a million units.
Following the announcement about the show, executive producer and author Dame Jilly expressed her delight by saying: ‘I’m thrilled beyond words to reveal our stellar cast for Rivals.’
Showcasing top-notch acting talents hailing from the British Isles, I wouldn’t have imagined a more fitting group of actors for this production.
‘I cannot wait to be on set and see them bring the characters I love so much to life.
As soon as we crossed paths with Alex, it was evident that he would flawlessly personify my ultimate role model, the legendary, seductive, relentless, and strikingly attractive Rupert Campbell-Black. Audience members are in for an exciting experience!
Screenwriter Dominic Treadwell-Collins intentionally chose to adapt just the first portion of the Rivals novel.
According to a source close to the show, it seems there’s plenty of narrative left that could potentially lead to a follow-up.
‘Disney+ appear to be on board, even though they haven’t announced an official commission yet.
As an over-the-moon fan, I can attest that the buzz surrounding this upcoming show is palpable, and as someone who’s had the privilege of peeking at its episodes, I can confidently say, without a shadow of a doubt, it will surpass all expectations.
In other words, it’s obvious that we need another meeting. However, remember that such gatherings require resources like money and time, especially since coordinating the schedules of our high-profile actors can be quite challenging.
