Minnie Driver and Eddie Izzard star in this critically acclaimed 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 first season was released from prison for a crime her husband, con-man Wayne (Izzard), committed. Understandably bitter, Dahlia self-medicated and regularly stole to protect her children before ending up on the run from a scary crew of extended family. When a crazy coincidence gave Wayne and Dahlia the keys to a new life and identity, they seized it, mistakenly figuring life in the suburbs would be a piece of cake. Now in the second season, the Malloys--er, Riches--have come closer together as an unlawful family unit and continue their cheerfully criminal adventures. Like a mixture of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, WEEDS, and a Coen Brothers comedy, THE RICHES offers wide appeal. This box set contains all seven episodes of the show’s second and final season. [More]

[DVD Details]
 
 
  • Combining richly dark humor with gripping family drama and intricate plot twists, the masterful final season of The Riches is as thrillingly original as television gets!
  • Itinerant con artists posing as a wealthy suburban family, the Malloys are stealing the American dream, but their elaborate ruse may be stealing their very souls. Facing near-certain detection, the family is torn asunder as Dahlia (Minnie Driver) and the children hit the open road, and embattled patriarch Wayne (Eddie Izzard) remains in Eden Falls, desperately scheming to pull off one last impossible con, so his family can stop running-forever.
