'Rivals' season two review: Thrusting buttocks and heaving buttocks as Jilly Cooper's escapist romp returns
"“I like persons better than principles,” Lord Harry Wotton, the libertine mentor in Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, tells his impressionable friend. “And I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world.”"
"This manifesto of decadence could well serve as the county motto for Rutshire, whose randy residents form the ensemble of Disney+'s Rivals, returning this week for its eagerly awaited second outing."
Lord Harry Wotton states a preference for persons over principles, and an even stronger preference for persons with no principles. The statement frames decadence as a guiding attitude. Rutshire is presented as a place that could adopt this sentiment as its motto. The residents are described as randy, forming an ensemble cast. Disney+’s Rivals returns for a second outing, with renewed anticipation around the show’s characters and their behavior.
