I REALLY miss "The Riches",an FX original series that premiered last year and will return for a second season in March.For those of you who have not seen it,it is a drama that revolves around a family of "Travellers",modern day Gypsies.Dahlia,played by Minnie Driver,is a recovering meth addict who was released from prison in the pilot episode and reunited with her immediate and extended family.She comes from a "royal" Traveller family and they do not always approve of her husband Wayne(Eddie Izzard),who is not a gypsie by birth.After ripping off Dahlias clan,they head out in their RV and happen upon a dying man and his wife in the wreckage of an auto accident,the Riches,and soon they are assuming the identities of the mega-wealthy dead couple,moving into their mansion and and trying desperately to dodge anyone who might know the real "Riches".They often include their three children in their scams and Wayne,who knows nothing about law,is thrust into the legal profession rather quickly upon finding out that the man he is impersonating was a top notch attorney.I do not want to say any more but the final episode last year left alot of things open,and Dahlias incestuous patricidal cousin Dale is now in their new lives,hanging all their misdeeds over their heads.
The second season premieres on FX on March 10,2008
