 - The best show I have ever seen.I love the Riches. I was in love with Eddie Izzard and his stand-up already when I found out about the Riches. I bought the Season 1 box set and watched it, no joke, from start to finish with hardly a pause for meal and toilet breaks. Yeah, the DVDs are over ten hours in total... It's that good. Since I bought it, I have watched the whole season again TWICE through. I LOVE THE RICHES!! The special features on the DVDs are great. There is a gag reel (always my favorite) and two episodes (the pilot and finale) have commentaries. I would have, of course, liked more special features - more commentary, more behind-the-scenes, but that's just because I love Eddie so much that I always want more. My only complaint about the DVDs is that there is no "Play All" for the episodes, of which there are 2-4 per DVD (4 discs in total). You have to select each episode and then "Play". All in all, it's not really a problem. Queer as Folk does the same... meh. Anyway, buy this set, watch it, watch it again, and write to Fox asking for them to bring back a third season!!!!! It's not officially cancelled yet, so don't give up! Rating: - Great ShowExcellent. 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. Rating: - Minnie Driver heads a great castThe 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. Rating: - Eddie Izzard"The Riches" is a fabulous show. So entertaining. Cannot quit watching it -- it is addictive. Love Eddie Izzard - he is my favorite person in show business. Rating: - Great show!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!
