  1. The drama's strange coincidences and unlikely twists are boundless. But The Riches is like a skillful shell game: Even when you know you're being played, the dizzying machinations are irresistible.

    Stellar acting bolsters perceptive writing.
  3. Even though the performances, the writing, directing, etc., are uniformly strong, The Riches is just too unpleasant to make a weekly commitment to.

    I find The Riches emotionally flat, borderline pretentious and (metaphor acknowledged) dramatically phony.

    Some of the actions and reactions of the characters are illogical at times but the story is interesting and I look forward to each new episode.
