New Hulu/Disney+ series. It’s difficult for me to decide whether it is a melodrama about the British upper classes or a satire of their lives. Perhaps those things are one and the same. It’s one of those shows where the catty and amoral characters have names like Lord and Lady Baden-Baden-Baden and Nigel Rupert Smythe-Luddingham.
The official blurb:
Into the cut-throat world of Corinium television comes Declan O’Hara, a mega-star of great glamour and integrity with a radiant feckless wife, a son and two teenage daughters. Living rather too closely across the valley is Rupert Campbell-Black, divorced and as dissolute as ever, and now the Tory Minister for Sport. Declan needs only a few days at Corinium to realise that the Managing Director, Lord Baddingham, is a crook who has recruited him merely to help retain the franchise for Corinium. Baddingham has also enticed Cameron Cook, a gorgeous but domineering executive, to produce Declan’s programme. Declan and Cameron detest each other, provoking a storm of controversy into which Rupert plunges with his usual abandon. As a rival group emerges to pitch for the franchise, reputations ripen and decline, true love blossoms and burns, marriages are made and shattered, and sex raises its (delicious) head at almost every throw as, in bed and boardroom, the race is on to capture the Cotswold Crown.
As is typical from streaming series lately, there is excellent nudity in episode 1.
A brief full-frontal from Emily Atack in episode 1
Nafessa Williams in episode 1
Previously on Other Crap:
One (alleged) pic of Emily Atack from an unidentified source.
there is more nudity in other episodes?
Fast forwarding, I saw some in episode 8 (Katherine Parkinson, I think), but I can’t give you a better answer at the moment.
To make your life easier, I saw that there is nudity in sex scenes in episode 1 as it is well written in the article, and also in episodes 3, episodes 5, 7 and 8 there are sex scenes and nudity. Not to mention some very sexy scenes of Emily atack in a bra and bikini, and also her frontal nudity in the first episode, as reported.
One millisecond of full frontal nudity.
Emily Atack nude?!? Wow wow wow yes please! If that’s what it takes for Disney to stop churning out shite, sign me up now please! 😂
In answer to your post: this is a sex comedy based on the first of a series of novels by Jilly Cooper that sold an awful lot of copies to British women (and girls) in the 1980s and ever since, making Ms Cooper (who is now 87) extremely rich in the process. It certainly isn’t meant to be a melodrama or a biting social critique: more a sort of escapist, slightly satirical but fundamentally comedic fantasy.
