Riches and Riches and Riches

I just got through watching the premiere of "The Riches" on Showcase and I was quite impressed. The drama stars the brilliant Eddie Izzard and resurgent Minnie Driver as the patriarch and matriarch of the Malloy family, a vagabond group of thieves and con artist. They are associated with the mythic "white gypsies" of the American south. Through a variety of mishaps, the Malloy family ends up assuming the identity of the "Rich" family who were killed in an accident and set out to "steal the American dream." This show is well acted and well written with a lot of room to grow. Check it out!
