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.

The Riches is gloriously inventive, daring and provocative, with excellent performances.
By Tim Goodman FULL REVIEW

The Riches is not a perfect show (the story's twists stretch the rules of plausibility every week), but it has something to say about such concepts as freedom and what constitutes a normal life. In addition, you won't find any better lead performances on television than those offered by Driver and Izzard.
By Charlie McCollum FULL REVIEW

Season 2 features an expanded role--probably too greatly expanded--for Dale (Todd Stashwick), the dull-witted, violent villain and nemesis from Traveller days. Even so, Izzard and Driver remain a joy to watch in this odd but fascinating series that is derivative of nothing on TV.
By Barry Garron FULL REVIEW

Even though the performances, the writing, directing, etc., are uniformly strong, The Riches is just too unpleasant to make a weekly commitment to.
By Alan Sepinwall FULL REVIEW

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