What I'm Watching: The Riches

The Riches: Season 2, Episode 3 "Field of Dreams" (B-)

I had hoped that Dale's presence in the vincinity of the Malloys/Riches meant that we had seen the last of the other Travelers back at their camp. Yet now there is a new, somewhat angry and invincible-seeming Traveler fresh out of jail who looks like nothing but violent, agressive trouble. The Malloys are certainly capable of getting themselves into enough trouble, with spontaneous do-gooder confessions from both Cal and Dahlia to majorly mess things up for the whole bunch. This show acts very sharply, infusing twists and turns into every episode, yet there still seems to be no clear idea of where it's going. Maybe that's the point, but with only seven episodes this season (four to go), I'd prefer a bit more of a path right now.

Hi. Really like your blog, but when are those Emmy predictions coming? I'm waiting...

I've been swamped lately, but Emmy predictions are on their way as soon as I've caught up with all the episode reviews I've missed. I have tentative guesses for Best Drama Series and Best Comedy Series which I can post soon.
