Review of Riches

Riches (2022)
1/10
Damaging and cliched
26 December 2022
At first I thought that it might be a black "Succession." That would have been gimmicky but at least it held out the hope of being an intriguing family drama. But it's not Succession at all. It's not even a good family drama on its own. Instead it's shallow, superficial look at a dysfunctional, rich family who happens to be black. Yawn. I can't identify with these characters to begin with and it doesn't help that they aren't given enough layers to make them interesting as human beings. Plus the writers fly into this rather damaging cliche of making the bad guys white. This is as unhelpful as making black characters bad in majority white shows. It serves no one. I hope they throw this out as a failed attempt. It's really a waste of time.
