Am hooked already!
March 14, 2007
Love Eddie but just couldn't imagine him without his heels and makeup in a serious role but he was pretty good and made me totally forget his standup routine which says it all. Even Minnie Driver, I find her extremely irritating, was very believable in her role as a broken down ex prisoner addicted to cough mixture (see what you missed??) and the cross dressing little boy is a wonderful touch obviously inspired to Mr Izzard! Go Eddie!

Best New Show on TV
March 13, 2007
What a fantasticlly gripping show. Izzard's performance was mesmorizing. He pulls off the con-man role as if he were born to it. Minnie Driver is more painful to watch, trying to readjust to life after prison, but her character is no less powerful or engaging. These two have serious chemistry! Its a dark drama, but there are bits of humor to lighten it---and if you're a fan of Izzards stand up--you can catch bits a pieces of the humor you know and love. I'm looking forward to next week!

Loved Episode 2--
March 16, 2007
Episode One was great from the very beginning....Episode Two was great too. I am anxious to watch this show develop. The young actors are great and of course Eddie and Minnie are favorites. Hope they keep up the momentum. Love that this can be watched in advance on Yahoo TV. Watched this on 3/16/07.

LOVED it!- I'm Hooked.

Eddie Izzard's performance was great. Minnie Driver was amazing. Even the kids were talented. I have loved Eddies standup for years and his performance on the Riches reminded me of Robin Williams being able to go from standup to drama with finesse. I was not expecting the show to be that good. Well Done!
