forget the riches

i needed some tv to watch and i went with eddie izzard's series the riches. it also has minnie driver. it's funny because they're both british but they're playing american travelers, or gypsies.

so, minnie driver has been in prison for two years and eddie and their three kids pick her up and take her home to their traveler camp. she comes from a long line of travelers and is kind of traveler royalty. but, eddie realizes that the travelers are mean, rude, stupid and boring and wants to get out of that life, so he steals the family bank (the cut of the money the temporary leader takes from everyone) and leave. while running, this car goes off the road (not their fault) and the two people die. so, they take over these people's lives (mr and mrs rich). this is not a comedy.

i guess it's kind of good because it's about conning your way into everything and how everyone's a liar, even if they're not completely lying like these guys. but, mostly it's too serious and i spend too much time holding my breathe and waiting for everything to go horrible wrong. it's too much and i haven't watch any more after my initial hours of watching it.
