Summary
Reviewers say 'Riches' presents a gripping blend of family drama and corporate intrigue, with strong performances from Deborah Ayorinde and Sarah Niles. The show is celebrated for its fashion, glamour, and plot twists, as well as its representation of a wealthy Black family. However, some find the writing clichéd and the acting inconsistent, with concerns about racial stereotypes and unrealistic elements. Mixed reviews on production values and ensemble cast, but there's a call for more seasons to delve deeper into the narrative.

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 !!
OMG! I LOVED this series! I can't believe I watched the entire series in one sitting. I literally watched the entire season within 5 hours! I have never been so glued to a series like this! Please bring season 2, but with longer episodes and more than 6 episodes! I enjoyed every episode! If there is a Season 2, I know there will be a lot more drama. The cast was amazing! Every episode had me on the edge ready for the next episode! I knew something was off about the secretary, but to they extent I didn't know until the last episode. Please keep this coming! I will be heartbroken if this series does not get approved for a second series.
So many plot twist!!
I was like WOW to every other episode.
I love the creativity of the writers and the directors. The actors and actress performances was great!!!. I binged watched the show and wished the season was even longer.
This show is a hit in my book!!!
Black excellence at its finest with the characters development!!
Yes it had some scandalous topics. Luckily it wasn't over done and didn't come across as ghetto but what's possible with money, power, and a career driven mindset.
I can't wait to see what they come up with next season.
Drama, fashion and a message (colorism in fashion)!!!
Love, love, love this show!!

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.
