The Riches: Fork in the road

Last night's first-season finale of The Riches was a bit of a letdown, but maybe I just found it hard to pay attention after the riveting (and commercial-free) episode of The Sopranos on Sunday. At least the show didn't make the mistake of having an obviously intelligent character -- next-door neighbor Nina -- behave stupidly in order to maintain the show's premise. I wouldn't mind if the Malloys really did leave their gated community, and I certainly wouldn't mind if we never saw the Panco offices again, as long as there's a way to plausibly keep Nina on the show.
