Riches

Thought I'd "give it a go" and was instantly hooked! Although not original, it's a great storyline done very well! Nice twists and turns, executed to perfection!

The cast is terrific, hands down one of the better ensembles on Prime and in the stream-verse. The performances were like butter, smooth and well executed. The writing was good and production value was exquisite, higher than I expected.

I hope Amazon brings this show back for multiple seasons! I find it difficult to pin down good shows that keep me engaged, this one certainly did.

Amazon brings this show back for multiple seasons !

This series immediately throws you into intense and mysterious family drama. Like a fly on the wall, you get to see behind the scenes of each character. Every scene is painted in a meticulous color palette from the lighting and set design, to the elaborate outfits. Each character has a deep edge that will be sure to cut at just the right time. Accompanied by witty writing, this show will have you craving for more! Besides being mesmerizing, it has a certain grit in bringing up current social and cultural struggles like cultural appropriation and racial profiling. It is beautifully done and the cast is absolutely incredible!

OMG! I LOVED this series! I can't believe I watched the entire series in one sitting. I literally watched the entire season within 5 hours! I have never been so glued to a series like this! Please bring season 2, but with longer episodes and more than 6 episodes! I enjoyed every episode! If there is a Season 2, I know there will be a lot more drama. The cast was amazing! Every episode had me on the edge ready for the next episode! I knew something was off about the secretary, but to they extent I didn't know until the last episode. Please keep this coming! I will be heartbroken if this series does not get approved for a second series.

In the day of binge watching, this hits the spot. I was pleasantly surprised how this TV show sucked me in. My favorite characters with chemistry are the two siblings from America. I honestly love Sarah Niles from Ted Lasso so much that I found it kinda hard to believe that she is this vindictive wife who is self-centered and evil.

The twist and turns are wonderful. I was able to figure out all of them except for the last 2 twists. I can't wait to see how they handle the secrets that were left open-ended.

My final thoughts are America, we gotta do better with our actors lol. This cast ensemble is from the UK but has 2 UK actors playing Americans. I think it would have been a little better if there were 2 American actors who were actually thrown into the UK for authenticity. Lastly, not a fan of the sex scenes. Let's take a page from Shonda Rimes and really sell me the sexiness of the beautiful Nina Richardson played by Deborah Ayorinde.

The dramatic events caused by each family member's choices grabbed my attention. The showrunner created a situation for me where I liked and disliked each of the characters. The ensemble's performance was perfect, with each performer creating an atmosphere of disbelief, further piquing my curiosity. Deborah Ayorinde is inspiring as Nina Richards. Sarah Niles is a must-see as Claudia Richards, a character that makes you want to scream at the TV. Brendan Coyle never fails with his characters, who are always mysterious, trusting, and lovable. The set designs beautifully displayed wealth, but something was missing in conveying the family's power. I intended to watch two episodes but ended up watching the whole season, which is a good sign that Riches is a great show.

Viewers can expect to feel some of the emotions I described and more as the story opens to reveal a mystery that could destroy the family. If you made it this far, thanks for reading, and if you watch Riches, let me know what you think.
