It Doesn’t Get Richer than the Riches

Though FX boasts a host of anti-heroes on prime time, none are as compelling, sympathetic or honest as scammer Wayne Malloy (Eddie Izzard) on The Riches. He lives in a dead man’s life literally, assuming the upper class life of deceased lawyer Doug Rich with his family, including Wayne’s ex-convict wife Dahlia (Minnie Driver), their crafty daughter Di Di (Shannon Marie Woodward), lock picking son Cael (Noel Fisher) and cross-dressing youngest Sam (Aidan Mitchell). The second season follows Wayne managing with fallout caused by the Malloy’s murderous cousin Dale (Todd Stashwick) as the rest of the family make a break for it. The show only shot seven episodes before the writer’s strike, so be sure to catch the Riches on FX Tuesday at 9:00 PM.
