5/5
Riches isn’t entirely about a woman in a man’s world, but a woman in the cutthroat world of corporations, trying to balance legacy and greed. Go to Full Review Carol Midgley The Times (UK) 01/04/2023
3/5
Let’s be honest, the dialogue isn’t scalpel-sharp like Succession’s, which packs a belter in every third line, nor does it seem to be playing for laughs. But I like it; it’s fresh and intriguing... Go to Full Review Jasper Rees Daily Telegraph (UK) 12/29/2022
3/5
A mad, messy boardroom opera powered by bling, bitching and double-entry bookkeeping. Go to Full Review Ricky Valero Ready Steady Cut 01/25/2023
4/5
Overall, led by an electric performance by Deborah Ayorinde, Riches is a strong family-driven show that is an easy binge. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 01/10/2023
3/5
But in between the formulaic plot lines about loyalty, greed, and power, Riches attempts a conversation about racism, especially as it relates to immigrants and Black communities. Go to Full Review Sophie Laughton metro.co.uk 12/23/2022

Airing over the Christmas period, it’s the perfect petty tonic to any familial in-fighting. Why watch your own relatives quarrel over the dinner table when you can watch Riches? Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Third H @RT64291602 01/17/2023 Finally a good non American black series that was well written well acted and well produced. The only negative comment is it was only 6 episodes...omg.... had me wanting more asap...its a much binge show. Already in my top 5 of all time... See more TobyLi W @TobyLi 12/16/2022 Bad acting so so at best story lines and often just feels like been done before and better. See more LeilaSimone @RT38177195 12/14/2022 I love this TV series! My mom and I watched it in 1day! I even have my sister and cousins hooked on this show! We are ready for season 2! And all the drama that's coming with it. See more Valerie M @RT98059119 12/05/2022 Unpredictably and refreshing. Very entertaining especially for those with low expectations. The actors are really good too. See more Talk T @TalkTeaV 12/02/2022 Riches pulled me into the family drama from the start of episode one. The dramatic events caused by each family member's choices grabbed my attention. The showrunner created a situation for me where I liked and disliked each of the characters. The ensemble's performance was perfect, with each performer creating an atmosphere of disbelief, further piquing my curiosity. Deborah Ayorinde is inspiring as Nina Richards. Sarah Niles is a must-see as Claudia Richards, a character that makes you want to scream at the TV. Brendan Coyle never fails with his characters, who are always mysterious, trusting, and lovable. The set designs beautifully displayed wealth, but something was missing in conveying the family's power. I intended to watch two episodes but ended up watching the whole season, which is a good sign that Riches is a great show. Viewers can expect to feel some of the emotions I described and more as the storyline opens to reveal a mystery that could destroy the family. If you made it this far, thanks for reading, and if you watch Riches, let me know what you think. Keep It Interesting Stay Channel Surfing! Damian at TakTeaV See more Read all reviews
