Now that I have gotten rid of cable I get most of my television through Hulu and AppleTV. I love both of these options because they introduce me to new shows that I wouldn’t have found based on my old television viewing habits. I don’t watch a lot of TV, but when I find a good show I get hooked.
My latest addiction is was The Riches. It is about a family of travelers (a.k.a. gypsies) that steals the identify of a rich couple and starts living their life in their house. They con, lie, cheat and steal their way into fulfilling “the American dream”. Following the family is like watching a train wreck, you know it is wrong but you can’t turn away. The acting is fantastic, Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver are outstanding in their roles. Who would have thought Minnie Driver could play a convincing gypsy?
I highly recommend checking it out on Hulu. The only thing that sucks is FX canceled the show, you will be bummed with the last episode.
I have found myself to be watching less and less tv over the years, I spend a lot of time on the computer and I think I may even be watching more shows online than on tv. I watch Hulu, but even abc, fox,etc post their shows the next day online, which is awesome
Thanks for the information. The Riches show seems to be interesting.
There’s a reason it’s called television program. Turn it off!! Too much propaganda BS. Think for yourself. #Thatisall
