Don't get me wrong I really think Eddy Izzard is a great talent , but he is horribly miscast as the lead role in this surpriisingly weak show from FX. I think the y normally have the best shows on TV but this is a miss.

A show in a league all of it's own! I love this show and pass the word to anyone who will listen! Izzard can act with just his eyes. A talented cast and storyline that I believe every word of! Great!

The best most realistic comic ive ever watched

Its damn interesting! For a time ,and then its interesting! AGAIN!

solid, funny, and complex. great characters and great actors. poised to be the next cable superhit.

It takes a while to get started and is a little over-the-top in it's depiction of both white trash and Gated garbage, but The Riches succeeds where it counts.It gives you characters to root for, characters who you want to watch. And that is more than enough to make it the best show on television, given the fact that competition for that title currently consists of dull melodramas like Battlestar Galactica, repetitive, explotitive torture-advocacy shows (24), worn-out HBO mafia procedurals (Sopranos), obscurantist drivel (Lost) and a medical show with a Brit doing an American accent (cough, cough) that's on the edge of being trapped by its own formula.… Expand

The Riches are something different, with great acting, an unusual premise and engaging characters. It's now on my must see or Tivo list.

I saw the first two episodes and thought they were dynamic and hilarious. This I assure you will be a force to be rekoned with on tv. The acting was superb, Izzard and Driver show you what REAL tv should be. I love it!!!

good show like the writting it 's niffty keep up the good work

This show is Entertaining. There are few series on TV now that can be called that. The story line has problems with credibility, but nonetheless, you'll be rewarded with excellent performances, humorous scenes, and to a lesser extent, drama and tension. I do predict that both Izzard and Driver will be nominated for Emmys. If anything, watch the show to see them in action.

This show is superb! Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver are phenomenal and the acting is first rate. I wish more shows on television were this edgy and compelling. THIS IS MUST SEE TV!!!!

It's an outstanding show. I hope there is a season2.

I loved it!

I love how dark the show is, and Eddie is fantastic. I'm really excited for he show.

Rather boring with a one interesting character (the daughter).

Eddie Izzard's accent continually switches from Southern hick to New York Jew, to NJ wise guy, to cockney chimney swift. Not even the numerous clichés are coherent with one another. The characters are so shallow and fake that you almost can’t help rooting against them. This show got the gong after 40 minutes and won’t be given a second chance.

Better than most of the drivel on tv now ... enjoyed it, enjoyed the intelligence of the dialogue. Worth watching.

Love this show, great actors!

I loved it! The only problem for me is that it comes on at 11:00 p.m in my area and I go to bed early. This may be worth getting tivo.

Just to think that this could even happen.How far can it go and whats most interesting is to see what they come up with to get out of all the spots their put in." Fasinating"

This story is completely unbelievable. There is no way they could get away with it in real life. It's stupid and annoying that they ARE getting away with it. It's false. But somehow... you don't care. This is show is witty, funny, and keeps you interested in the story. Minnie Driver is a fantastic actress, and I don't know why she isn't is more tv shows or films. Eddie Izzard is pretty good too. I've read his english accent is terrible. I don't really think so; his voice fits him. The children, esepcially Di Di, are really funny. I like this show a lot, and it's probably one of the best, most compelling, and most inventive show of the new year so far.… Expand

I LOVE this show.It's gutsy,dark,and unlike anything else on television.The acting and writing are superb.I hop people tune in so that this show lasts.

It's fascinating...I can't wait to see more. Let's hope future episodes are as good as the first.

is different, crazy, intriguing super cool

Wow! Wouldn't miss for anything. Wonderfully quirky. Amazing TV!

I miss The Riches. One of the funniest shows I've ever seen...clever, satirical,fabulous acting. Come back soon.

The acting is wonderful ...everyone in the cast is superb....such a concept...holds my interest..and the best part is the variation of laughs and drama...I think the writing is smart.... will watch each week... Bravo

This show was supposed to be funny? Unbelievable and terrible premise. How else can we glamorize crime.

Eddie Izzard is great and the show is addicting

So disappointed by the show and by the rave reviews although not surprised by the latter given the sad, degenerate state of the general viewing public. One knows that people like this exist but we, or I anyway, don't want to watch them for entertainment, good acting notwithstanding.

Yes, there were some cliches, the intended groom of the daughter was way over or under the top, the arrogant rich guy at the golf clubbut some touches were so subltle and just under the radar. Take Minnie's corn rows as she walks out of prison, or her sneaking Nyquill, or the dying driver [lawyer] asking Izzard if he has coverage. This show could go downhill fast but it has mucho promise at the start.… Expand

It's about time Americans discovered the comedic genius of Eddie Izzard. He needs to be a huge star. Yes, people will rave about how deliciously dark and wonderful this drama/comedy is - and they should - the plot doesn't have to be rocket science. Look at the success of Seinfield and the Office - plot? How about entertainment? It doesn't get any better than watching Izzard.

This is a comedy? Hopfully things will pick up after this very dramatic dark pilot.

Eddie Izzard is great in this unique, well-written and -performed show. So far, so good!

Riches is so enjoyable that I fear it will vanish just as 100 Centre Street did several years ago. Hopefully the script and acting will continue to be as good as the first 2 episodes.

Cons, thievery, drama! This show is awesome!

the story is believable, the characters appealling & interesting - the fact that their accents shift (as previously mentioned) only adds to the suspense - Will someone catch them in a slip - can't wait each week to see the next episode - I love Eddie and have always loved Minnie in anything!!

Huge fan of Eddie Izzard, so I was looking forward to this. The premis is a bit unbelieveable, but then wouldn't that negate 99.99% of all TV shows? I'm hooked.

If I could rate The Riches higher I would. What a smart new take on TV. The storylines and acting are superb. I can't wait until the next episode and to think there are only 2 left before the Finale. I hope there will be sequel - can't get enough. Thanks to the writers for great scripts. Of course I can't say enough about the Rich family! Good show!

Best show in years.

After a slightly shaky start, this show has improved each week and become a can't miss...

Love this show! Prior to the first airing of the show, I thought the previews looked ridiculous and knew I wouldn't be watching...but I was ousted when my boyfriend insisted on watching. Much to my surprise, the storyline is actually quite captivating and the acting is superb. For once, there's a series where ALL the actors/actresses add to the story and it keeps me coming back each week. I'm very interested to find out how long they keep up the chirade.… Expand
