I just finished watching The Riches on FX and I have to say that it’s going to be one of my new favorite shows. A quick summary would basically be the following:
For Wayne and Dahlia Malloy, the road is home. As a family of travelers, life is all about the money – other peoples money – and steering clear of the law. They’ve raised their three children Cael, Didi and Sam in their old, beat up RV, teaching them the tricks of scamming trade, and to always take pride in conning greedy buffers (the traveler term for ordinary, law-abiding folk). But one blind curve in the road and a swerve of the RV later, the Malloy family finds themselves faced with the possibility of becoming buffers. Doug and Cherien Rich are now dead, driven off the road by the swerving Malloy RV. Dahlia feels guilt over the tragic accident. Wayne senses a golden opportunity.
For anyone who didn’t get to watch the show tonight, I strongly suggest you tune into FX on Saturday at 10 EST so you can see what you’re missing.
The hype has calmed though, tomorrow night is my usual Tuesday@10 line-up and I’ll be watching Dirt. I can’t wait until The Shield comes back. That’s just one step into Rescue Me and of course Nip/Tuck coming back on TV.
I’m an FX junkie!
