So, this show is really terrible on every level. It has that typical absurd situational humor but that's not why I'm writing this.Let's start off with the fact that this kid becomes a trillionaire by not eating his vegetables. But the two things that get me the most are his sex symbol French maid robot slave and his walking stereotype of a 12 year old money manager. These two things do not belong in a children's show. His best (friend)?? Is a girl that spends all of his money and doesn't stop complaining. The main character himself a spoiled, selfish and suffers zero consequences for being an absolute donkey to his sister and his "help". The dad belongs in an institution of some sort for allowing all this behavior and for allowing his 11?? Year old to purchase a sexualized slave. I hate this show and it is now banned from this house. If you took any lessons from this horribly written show they would be:Treat everyone like your help Hold your money over everyone's headObjectify and buy attractive slave womenIf you're rich you suffer no consequencesDon't eat vegetablesTreat your family like they are meaningless

At first I hated it but the more I watched it the more I liked it. The writing is bad. The jokes are bad but sometimes their funny. I did get attached to the characters especially Harvor she is just really pretty. This show isn't that bad it just needs some better back backgrounds better writing better plots and better jokes

I have this weird thing with the Netflix original series Richie Rich, based off the famous comic strip. The whole show is about the titular character making a trillion dollars overnight after his brand new invention that makes greens become an energy source. He moves his dad and sister into a new mansion with a Robot Maid. He has some friends like an accountant named Murray and Darcy who is the money spender (seriously why would he need a money spender?) and it follows the family and friend's adventures.The whole thing is so cheap. I mean, seriously so cheap. You could put cardboard as the background and it would still look more expensive then this! I always riff this show for having excuses of why they can't show anything expensive or cool and that is the reason. The show is completely ridiculous. The Kids do act like most kids, but with a few adult traits to them. Murray has a phobia of losing money and loves to save up and invest in things while Darcy is a shopaholic who contrasts from Murray a lot. The show has some extremely dumb things like in Episode 7, Murray goes to Antarctica to get Richie a check to sign, but he loses it, ends up going back and thinks he is a penguin. You know what the weirdest thing about this show is?I actually don't mind it at all.Not all kids are going to enjoy the humor of the show. I mean, the thematic elements of the show is money and I still don't know how kids are going to enjoy the economy jokes, but maybe for the older audience it will appeal more to those who grew up with the comics.Some of the jokes can be really funny and sometimes they can be really dull. My favorite by far is in Episode 7, one of my favorite episodes by far where Darcy has two musical numbers about how they should abandon Murray and why Murray was better off as a penguin.The show reminds me of old Disney Sitcoms from the 2000's like Suite Life/On Deck and that's a good thing because I did like watching a few of those shows on TV. Not a lot of people and kids are going to like this, but to those who do, Season 2 is out now with 11 episodes. Check it out, I don't think it's a terrible show, it has a cool likable lead and some good characters. Definitely for kids though, unless the old timers want to watch it.67/100 C+

At first I was excited about the possibility of a live-action Richie Rich as I grew up watching the original cartoons and movies. They weren't the best, but they were entertaining! However, this show is absolutely the worst one I've seen with Netflix's name attached to it. The stories are terrible, the acting is terrible, the characters are the worst, it's an insult to 'Richie Rich'. I don't see why the father has to be a complete idiot, the mother is non-existent, and why the sister is a terrible character. Richie's friends are also quite insulting, a girl who steals from him, spends his money and is out-of-this-world obnoxious, and a dorky boy who dresses like and acts like a stereotypical Jewish accountant? I don't get the reasoning behind it. Richie's character also has no appeal. He became rich because he didn't eat his vegetables? He's a spoiled kid who does whatever he wants with no accountability. This show has no genuine funny moments nor a cohesive story. I cannot believe someone read this crap and said 'yes let's do it' nor can I believe this got onto season 2.
