(Picture: Daniel Hambury/Stella Pictures Ltd)Forget kitsch Eighties shows like Dallas and Dynasty, family dramas have become the pinnacle of glossy high-end TV, spearheaded by the wildly successful US comedy-drama Succession. Now Britain has its answer to the hit US show with Riches, not that one of its stars would know.
CJ Beckford has never seen Succession, “I’ve only heard that it’s amazing, so the fact that Riches is being compared to it is great.” From what little he has seen, however, he believes Riches – one of the flagship shows on ITVX, the broadcaster’s new streaming service – is different: “It owns its own space.”
