The show offers a unique perspective on the American dream, and it makes some really deft observations about our society and its worship of material possessions

Minnie Driver and Eddie Izzard star in this well-received FX series based on the concept of what happens when a family of traveling con-artists finds its way into a wealthy suburban community, fooling everyone around them into thinking they belong while trying to convince themselves of the same thing. Driver plays Dahlia Malloy, a wife and mother who at the start of the series has just been released from prison for a crime her husband, conman Wayne (Izzard) committed. Understandably bitter, Dahlia self-medicates and steals to protect her children, ending up on the run from a scary crew of extended family. When a crazy coincidence gives Wayne and Dahlia the keys to a new life and a new identity, they seize it, mistakenly figuring life in the suburbs will be a piece of cake. Like a mixture of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, WEEDS, and Coen-brothers comedy, THE RICHES has the potential for wide appeal. This set contains all 13 episodes from the show's premiere season, including the pilot. [More]
