The Riches

The Riches, as a blend of Comedy, Crime, and Drama, primarily elicits Humor from the Malloy family's often clumsy and unconventional attempts to assimilate into suburban life. This comedic relief is underpinned by significant Anxiety and Anticipation, driven by their criminal past and the constant threat of exposure or confrontation with former associates. The dramatic core fosters strong Empathy for Wayne and Dahlia as they navigate a midlife crisis, question their identity, and strive for a 'normal' existence, leading to moments of Sadness and Melancholy reflecting their struggles. Underlying these are feelings of Hope for a better future and genuine, albeit fleeting, moments of Joy and Happiness found in their family bonds and small victories.
