Amazon Prime drama deemed 'fantastic' by viewers who keep rewatching it

Amazon Prime viewers are returning to a drama that premiered in the early 2000s, with online discussion centering on The Riches (2007). According to the article, the show has built a rewatching habit among audiences, including viewers who found it through Reddit recommendations asking for a “masterpiece 10/10 series” with HBO-level writing and acting that flew under the radar. The Riches stars Eddie Izzard as Wayne Malloy and Minnie Driver as Dahlia Malloy, portraying an Irish Traveller couple attempting to “steal the American dream” in a gated Louisiana community while dealing with “buffers,” people they distinguish from Travellers. The series premiered around 2008–2009 and was cancelled after two seasons. The second season was shortened from 13 episodes to seven, and the series later ended on a cliffhanger. Viewers can stream or purchase it on Amazon Prime or Apple TV.
