The Riches is currently streaming in the US on Amazon Prime Video, and its 7/10 TMDB rating reflects what viewers who have already found it know. 2 seasons that reward every hour invested. That rating comes from 59 viewer scores — enough to represent a genuine consensus rather than a handful of enthusiasts. The availability across streaming platforms means you can start tonight without hunting for a disc or a dodgy stream. Suzy Eddie Izzard is the obvious draw, but once you are in, it is the writing and the ensemble that keep you watching. If it has been sitting on your watchlist untouched, there is no better time to finally start it.

Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate The Riches from the crowd. A family of crooks assume the identity of an upper-middle-class suburban clan in the Deep South. Suzy Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 2 seasons (2007–2008), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and The Riches holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-season curiosities.

The kind of show you put on in the background and find yourself actually paying attention to. It earns every laugh across its entire run — no coasting on goodwill. The comedy comes from character rather than situation, which means it holds up on rewatch in a way that pure farce never does. Suzy Eddie Izzard sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. If Animal Kingdom is already in your rotation, The Riches fits naturally alongside it.
