Minnie Driver and Eddie Izzard star in this well-received FX series based on the concept of what happens when a family of traveling con-artists finds its way into a wealthy suburban community fooling everyone around them into thinking they belong while trying to convince themselves of the same thing. Driver plays Dahlia Malloy a wife and mother who at the start of the series has just been released from prison for a crime her husband conman Wayne (Izzard) committed. Understandably bitter Dahlia self-medicates and steals to protect her children ending up on the run from a scary crew of extended family. When a crazy coincidence gives Wayne and Dahlia the keys to a new life and a new identity they seize it mistakenly figuring life in the suburbs will be a piece of cake. Like a mixture of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES WEEDS and Coen-brothers comedy THE RICHES has the potential for wide appeal. This set contains all 13 episodes from the show's premiere season including the pilot.System Requirements:Run time: 161 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:Â TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating:Â NR UPC:Â 024543488057 Manufacturer No:Â 2248805

Summary: Great Show
Comment: Excellent. However, a word of warning. Causes family fights when one person watches an episode without waiting for others. You must restart the dvd often as family members enter the room in mid-episode.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Minnie Driver heads a great cast
Comment: The Riches was a surprisingly great show with a different spin on family drama. Izzard and Driver are great as the con artist parents of the soapy dysfunctional family whose lives they take over.
Minnie Driver is awesome as Dahlia.

Summary: Great show!
Comment: It was actually Minnie Driver who attracted me to this show. I always liked but, never loved her. This show has made me realize how amazing a talent she is. If I didn't know she were an actor from the UK, I would fully think that she had been born in Alabama, Georgia or Mississippi her accent is that believable.
She, like the rest of the cast, are perfectly cast in their roles. They all(Eddie Izzard, Shannon Woodward, Noel Fisher and Aiden Mitchell) tow the very fine line of family/liars in a perfect way. Plus I love the way the show adds the realism of "believing the lie" and its toll on the family.
An extremely well conceived, written and acted show. I hope it gets the recognition and viewership it deserves!
