What: In the short-lived TV series The Riches, a family of Irish-Traveller grifters con their way into a place in the affluent suburbs. After witnessing a car accident that leaves a wealthy couple dead, parents Wayne and Dahlia Malloy (Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver) decide to assume their identities. They and their three kids start a new life in a Baton Rouge gated community. But the past catches up with them. Of course.
Comparable to: The kinds of shows you expect to see on cable channels that cost more.
Representative quote: "The American dream. We're gonna steal her."
You might not like it if: You expect too much from season 2. It has its moments, but it doesn't really go anywhere.
How to get it: Available to watch instantly on Netflix and Amazon, if you're into that sort of thing.
Connection to previous Wreckage: He's a Serious Actor here, but you might know Eddie Izzard from his fanatically adored stand-up shows, including Dress to Kill (Rec. #152).
