Let me start this review by saying I am a huge fan of both Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver, the stars of the new FX series The Riches. Izzard has been on my “must see” list since I first saw his Dressed To Kill stand up act on HBO back in 1999. Anyone who’s seen him perform knows he is both brilliant and wildly funny. When it comes to Minnie Driver, well I think all I really need to say is Grosse Pointe Blank. Small side note, she was also the voice of Brooke Shields in South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, which earns her even more cool points. Starring two actors I respect, and on a channel that has already proven to me it knows how to create a great series (yes, I’m still in love with Dirt), I had high expectations for The Riches when I turned on my TV Monday night at 10pm. After the hour-plus of episode one not only were all those expectations met, but I also ended up seeing a whole new side of Eddie Izzard.
