"“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 people over principles, and even more for people with no principles. This stance is framed as a manifesto of decadence. Rutshire is presented as a place where such values function like a county motto. The setting centers on randy residents who form an ensemble cast. Disney+’s Rivals returns for a second outing, with renewed attention and anticipation. The material connects the libertine philosophy to the behavior and tone of the characters in the series.
