    This has got to be the worst series on Netflix. He "jokes" are lame, the characters are pathetic, and if the parents are so stupid family services would've taken him away from them. This show is so bad that they had to give it a second season to confirm that the first one was not an aberration.

    This has gotta be the cheesiest show I've seen in a long time, a cross between bad sitcom and lame children's program. I wasn't such a huge fan of the original 1990's Richie Rich films, but at least they retained the characters to some degree like Reggie and Cadbury. As for this show, Richie Rich's altruism, meant to break the stereotype that all rich people are greedy and callous, is nearly all but dissolved, and instead we're left with an obnoxious brat and his annoying, unmemorable friends. Not a lot actually happens during this show's dismal one-season run, and what does happen just comes across mostly as corny antics that go nowhere. It wasn't even enough to entertain my five-year-old cousin for longer than three minutes, let alone viewers who are any older, but then again, this is Netflix, which has a habit of buying up the rights to great books and films and turning them into terrible adaptations. This is just my opinion, but the only shows created by Netflix that I even remotely like are the ones that try something new and innovative with never-before-seen plots, not the same regurgitated stuff that's already been done before. I'm not saying adapting Richie Rich was a bad thing, but couldn't they have at least tried to make it genuinely funny and different instead of hokey and stupid?

    Literally the worst show I've ever seen. Horribly corny, Horribly bad acting, Horrible characters. The dialog actually sounds like the child actors wrote it. It amazes me that this show was ever green-lit. Also, As one reviewer pointed out, the show is actually borderline offensive. There are so many offensive stereotypes. I can put up with a lot of kids shows but this one is torture. Now to formulate a plan to convince my niece to watch something else... On a side note; What is up with the random little girl whose only purpose is to spend the kids money? And the creepily sexualized robot maid? Also, How does the father even feed himself. He should be placed in a home for the mentally challenged.

    I loved the Richie Rich movie (1994) with Macaulay Culkin when I was a kid. Of course, once I watched it again as an adult, I found some things in the movie just dumb, but I could still see why I loved it so much. It was well written, had a good plot, good actors, etc.This Richie Rich show, however, is simply bad. No, wait, I have a better word for it: horrendous. Story is pretty much inexistent, characters and dialogues are horribly written, and actors are just... not good. After watching a few episodes, I couldn't take it anymore.I know they are just kids that were probably just very poorly directed, but still, this is something else. They remind me of puppies that are avidly learning to do new tricks. In this case, their "punchlines" are the tricks, and the "laughs" are the rewards. And honestly, it gives a stink of desperation to the whole show. They kinda look like they are on speed or ecstasy too. Yep, a bunch of puppies on drugs, that's pretty much what they look like to me.And let's not forget the obviously objectified/sexualized robot French maid... She has the best lines, and she's a freaking robot! And just like all the other characters, she's an overused stereotype that is just inappropriate. It's like they took her character from a bad indie porn movie and put it in a kids show on Netflix.I don't often take time to review movies/series, but this show just made me so mad I had to vent somehow. I can't believe such a show can still be produced in 2015. It's sad for the actors, because you sense they do have potential and talent hidden behind the poor direction, but I officially brand this as unwatchable. There's too much wrong stuff at the same time, and I honestly don't understand how someone could enjoy it.
