I love this show. It is absolutely brilliant, in my opinion. Despite the opinions of some prior reviewers, the cast has a strong chemistry with one another, and all the characters show both ambition and ruthlessness in the pursuit of their goals, as well as a human side, with real feelings and even a conscience. The actors fit their parts extremely well, so well in fact that I find myself despising Kirby just as much as I despised the idiot jocks I've known who were so hung up on themselves they couldn't see two feet past their nose. And I find that the comedic moments are excellent as well, some of the funniest have been provided by Sandra Oh as Rita Wu. This show, along with Dennis Miller Live, may be one of the two best items among the many that fill up HBO's time slots.
For some reason it's kind of trendy for some to malign Arli$$ in the same way the fourth season of Community is kicked to the sidelines quite unfairly.
Anyway, I remember watching Arli$$ all those years ago. I didn't see every episode, in fact I saw a handful, but it was smart for sure.

I can't believe there are the number of negative comments there are here about Arliss. I love this, and I have been a huge fan since the start. It airs every weeknight now on HBO comedy, and I thank my cable company everyday for picking the channel up. Wuhl (spelling?) is a genius, and his work on the show is brilliant. The chemistry is awesome in the show, even tho one comment said it was horrible. I think the entire cast is hilarious and the shows never fail to entertain. I am usually laughing the entire episode, and that's sometimes rare with some of the crap that is on tv today....this is a great show, and if you haven't seen it, you have to check it out.
Arliss, is without a doubt, one of the greatest television shows running today. It is a great comedy, and also tackles serious problems, like people taking steroids, and domestic violence. It also has many cameos. Doug Flutie, Ken Griffey, Jr., and many other sports personalities have been on!
I rate this show an A. Ignore the negative feedback and watch this show! You will be completely drawn into it!

I just tore my ACL in a flag football game and found this show on HBOGO. I binged the entire series. The cast is phenomenal and I love the Celebrity cameos. Robert Wuhl as Arliss is perfect. Stanley, Rita & Kirby are exciting and entertaining characters. This is the Ballers and Entourage of the 90s. Great show! 8.5/10
