Riviera

If you want a drama that takes its characters as seriously as its plot, Riviera is available in the US on Philo and AMC Plus Apple TV Channel , and in the UK on Netflix and Sky Go right now. 3 seasons means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. With 119 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Julia Stiles leads a cast that never overplays its hand. Available now on Philo — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Riviera arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Character-driven storytelling at its most effective — Riviera earns every emotional beat it goes for. After newlywed Georgina's billionaire husband Constantine is killed in a yacht explosion, she is shocked to discover the fortune and lifestyle he maintained was surrounded by violence, lies and murder. She soon must step out of her comfort zone to protect the family...and herself. Julia Stiles and Rupert Graves lead a cast that treats the material with real seriousness. Across 3 seasons (2017–2020), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. The performances in Riviera do a lot of work in the silences between the dialogue. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

For anyone looking for storytelling that takes its characters seriously, Riviera delivers. Viewers who responded to Unchosen will find a lot to like here too. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Julia Stiles carries the material with a performance that rewards close attention. Worth starting sooner rather than later.

Riviera wrapped up in 2020, created by Neil Jordan — and 3 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
