Thought that your family has some deep-rooted secrets? Meet the Riches and you may think again. Wayne and Dahlia Malloy have been conning people since they can remember. However, it seems that they might have finally settled down, assuming the life of the preppy Riches. The so-called suburban family has a big secret: they are not the family they appear to be.

Why watch this season? The answer is simple: the Riches have finally settled down to life in suburbia, but are struggling to escaping their coning past. However, they have agreed to one last con to get enough money to never have to do it again. The question is: will their plan backfire? Dealing with criminal life may not be as easy as any of them thought and that is what makes this show so good.

In a time of Dancing with the Stars and American Idol it is nice to see an innovative show such as this one. The idea is truly creative and makes for great T.V. It makes your wonder what kinds of secrets those around you are hiding. There are always those who you have second thoughts about and this is one of those families.

Dahlia, the mother, has just returned from two years in prison and is adjusting to normal life. Dahila, who constantly is dealing with a drug problem is more accustomed to a life of crime than the others.

However, now her three children are sick of running cons and want to settle down as a normal family.
The way in which they come into being the Riches illustrates just how comical the family is. As they were traveling in their R.V. they get into an accident with the Rich family. The family dies so they decide to assume their identities.

Adjusting to life in the upper-class Lousiana community may have been hard for the Riches, but it sure is entertaining.
The Riches really is a breath of fresh air. For those who thought their life was going to end after the Soprano’s ended, this show is definitely for you.
In the opening episode they have to deal with everything from dead bodies to drunk bosses. Even though the story lines seem to be unbelievable that is what makes them so good.

The Riches begs the question: does money really matter? Even though they have always been drifters and are always looking for new ways to make quick cash it seems that this season is in for a twist. Past characters are already showing up, and it seems that only more drama is to come.
With new spring shows taking over the lineups The Riches is one that you simply cannot miss.
