What I'm Watching: The Riches

The Riches: Season 1, Episode 6 "Reckless Gardening" (B)

Even if the plot is getting a bit sidetracked, this show is marvelously executed. Minnie Driver and Noel Fisher are becoming increasingly comfortable with their roles, and Fisher, as rebellious son Cal, finally gets some lines! The one-armed gardening case is a riot, and I love all the characters associated with it. I do not quite understand why the traveler camp is still a focus of the show, and next week's preview makes me a bit nervous. The addition of Ken in this episode was good for a few laughs, but just as he is dragging down the family, he is dragging down the show a bit too.
