Finally, after much deliberation, FX has cancelled the series. The series have had a short span. ‘The Riches’ had just completed its two seasons, after which it has been called cancelled. The reason behind the cancellation of the series is its falling ratings. The series started in 2007, when it had a decent fan following. But, in the very next season the rating started falling and the season was even shortened down to seven episodes and it ended in April.
The series starred Oscar nominee Minnie Driver and comedian Eddie Izzard. The two were paired as a couple. They played the role of parents of a family of gypsies who move into a wealthy suburban Louisiana neighborhood under a new identity. Though, the series was not very well accepted, especially by the critics, but still people were interested in watching the series. And that was the main reason the channel took few months to come to the final decision.
Well, I am not very happy with the channels decision. I used to love the series and I have seen each and every episode of the series. I used to love the series for one basic reason that it was different from the rest and that it had some meaning to it. Plus I used to love watching Driver and Izzard. Together they both made a beautiful pair and their acting was commendable. I seriously think that FX should reconsider its decision of canceling the series. There are many more like me who love to watch ‘The Riches’.
