Riches

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!

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.

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.

Absolutely loved this series! The plot, story line, writing, acting of each and every character was phenomenal. Prime better keep it coming... and more episodes added please. At least 10 (or more :) Thanks for this needed addition to the very vanilla broadcasting. My review has to be 600 characters so I guess I will fill this space with my applause to the cast. No spoilers alert, just go and watch this wonderfully Melaninated cast. I watched the entire series in one day. Could not get get enough and was so happy it wasn't left with a major cliffhanger. Just enought to wonder what comes next...

I love the lead actress Deborah Ayorinde she was excellent in Them. This series is great the production, location and the cast was well done. I enjoyed the twist and turns of the story line and each episode had a cliff hanger. I can't wait until season 2. Well worth the bing watching. Black Excellence!! If you enjoy seeing a family work through some major challenges and still stick together then this is the how for you to watch. I loved the color palate of the clothing, makeup, hair and the location of the filming. You feel as of your really there and your part of the Richards family empire. Love! Love! Love !!
