Riches is one of those shows that satisfies on so many levels: Looking for a good old-school Dynasty buzz? Check. Craving a mystery with more plot twists than a pretzel? Check again. Yearning for a quick fashion fix, with a dab of wealth porn? Sure, why not?
This UK based winner also delivers a solid story about the wealthy Richards family, fighting each other - and some deep personal weaknesses - to save their company. Deborah Ayorinde and Sarah Niles snap, sizzle, and pop as sparring in-laws Nina and Claudia, evoking that delicious disco-era energy of Krystle and Alexis Carrington.
Yet Riches moves beyond mere campy soap-opera to hook viewers with a mystery worthy of any Masterpiece Mystery show. It's easy to binge watch, but beware the bittersweet realization that you'll have to wait until the second season for emotional closure...sigh.
