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.

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.

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 !!
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.

Phenomenal acting on most characters--suspenseful and intriguing.
It gets you hooked with the sibling drama and intense reading of the Will in the beginning.
A mix of British and American style of dry humor interjected with sarcasm with ques of irony.
Seriously though 600 characters is too much as a mandatory form to fill up this whole page with. Hence, Im just going to fill it with meaningless words. Peter piper pick a peck of pickled peppers. A peck of pickled peppers peter piper picked. If peter piper picked a pecck of pickled peppers. Then where's the peck of pickled peppers peter piper picked??? Ridiculous!

Thought I'd "give it a go" and was instantly hooked! Although not original, it's a great storyline done very well! Nice twists and turns, executed to perfection!
The cast is terrific, hands down one of the better ensembles on Prime and in the stream-verse. The performances were like butter, smooth and well executed. The writing was good and production value was exquisite, higher than I expected.
I hope Amazon brings this show back for multiple seasons! I find it difficult to pin down good shows that keep me engaged, this one certainly did.
