About
"Con artists faking the American dream, badly"
A family of Irish Traveler grifters flees their own clan mid-heist and stumbles onto a dead couple's untouched suburban mansion. On impulse, they steal the dead couple's identities and move in, faking their way into a gated community, private school, and law firm job. What follows is a tense, darkly funny high-wire act of constant improvisation, powered by Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver's live-wire chemistry as parents desperate to protect their con and their kids. It's twisty, anxious, and surprisingly tender under the grift.
Watch it for
the electric, off-kilter chemistry between Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver as flawed, loving parents.
Maybe skip if
you want closure, since the show ends abruptly without resolving its central con.

Blackmail. Murder. And back to life in the RV. The Malloys, after successfully passing themselves off as “The Riches,” a yuppie family living in suburban America, face big trouble in Season 2. Wayne Malloy tries to clean up the mess in Eden Falls while his con artist family hits the road, finding the old pleasures of the road and the Traveller way of life hard to come by. Dahlia and the kids don't feel like professional cons anymore. They got used to life in Eden Falls and are now lost and unsteady when forced to live by their wits. When Wayne raises the possibility of returning to pull off one Last Great Con that could earn them enough money to stop running and conning forever, the Malloys decide to roll the dice. They risk going back to Eden Falls despite the ongoing threat from Dahlia's cousin Dale and the presence of a new and frightening adversary, a legendary Traveller named Quinn.
