Along with picking up Dirt, the F/X network has also picked up a second season of the Minnie Driver dark sitcom The Riches. And again, not sure who is watching this one either!
You know, I adore Minnie Driver… but I have such a hard time envisioning her in this role as a drug addicted ex-con who cons her way to middle class acceptance.
First, the synopsis of the series:
The Riches centers around a traveling family of con artists. After completing a 2-year stint in prison, a married couple (played by Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver) are now dealing with a drug addiction and begin to question their marginal lifestyle. Along with their three children, they assume the identities of a normal, higher-income bracket family. The Riches is produced by FOX…
Yes, very FOX, isn’t it?
And for the pilot episode:
Through a set of unusual circumstances, the Malloy family assumes the identities of a wealthy family, the Riches, only to find that a glamorous life entails more than they expected.
The series has received critical acclaim so far, so the first airing on F/X will show if it can achieve the same acclaim with the fans as well.
The show will air Monday at 10pm on F/X
