Tim Goodman

"The Riches" is both unique and intoxicating -- and plenty more. Read full review

Alessandra Stanley

It’s so compelling it deserves to be a hit. Read full review

David Hinckley

Though the overall tone is light, there's enough darkness in "The Riches," and enough depth in the performances, to make you care about these people - even when you don't totally buy the premise. Read full review

David Zurawik

Viewers who can get past the uncertain dialects and a few cartoonish supporting characters are in for a real treat. Read full review

Aaron Barnhart

"The Riches" reminds me a bit of "Big Love" the first time I saw it. I wasn’t sure whether to like these people or despise them, whether I bought the premise or not. And yet, at the end of the hour, I wanted to see more. Read full review

My guess is that lots of people are going to rave about how deliciously dark and weird this drama is, but before you believe them, take a minute and imagine Minnie Driver with a fake Southern accent. Now imagine Eddie Izzard with an American accent that's so bad, it makes his voice sound almost computerized. Next, throw in some demonic rednecks straight out of "Deliverance." Are you getting hot yet? Read full review

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