Martha Stewart Dishes On Why 'Heated Rivalry' Isn’T Her Cup Of Tea

Martha Stewart Finds 'Heated Rivalry' Lukewarm

Martha Stewart recently opened up about her TV preferences during an appearance on the Up & Adams Show. Known for her refined tastes, the lifestyle mogul revealed she isn't a fan of the sports romance series, Heated Rivalry. "I tried, but it just doesn’t turn me on," Stewart admitted, showing that even TV royalty can be a tough critic. The series, set against the backdrop of the hockey world, simply isn't her style.

MobLand Takes the Spotlight

Instead, Stewart's heart lies with another kind of drama – the gritty, mob-centric series MobLand. She praised the show, particularly the work of its executive producer and director, Guy Ritchie, calling it "the best thing on TV in 2025." With a star-studded cast that includes Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and Helen Mirren, it's clear why this crime drama has won her over. "Tom Hardy, he’s my man!" Stewart exclaimed, giving the audience a glimpse of her celebrity crushes.

“It doesn’t turn me on. That’s not my stuff.”

MobLand’s Riveting Plot

For those unfamiliar, MobLand is the brainchild of Ronan Bennett and follows the intense rivalry between two mob families – the Harrigans and Stevensons. Their feud threatens to engulf them in a dangerous war, with street-smart fixer Harry Da Souza caught in the middle, trying to keep the peace. The show first aired in March 2025 and was quickly renewed following a successful first season, a testament to its gripping storyline and stellar performances.
