These episodes from the long-running HBO series have plenty
of the bells and whistles that make Arli$$ so much fun to watch:
celebrity cameos, topical satire, swatches of deep poignancy, and pure
silliness. Comic actor Robert Wuhl, who created and stars, plays Arliss
Michaels, a sports super-agent driven by twin motivations of profit and
idealism. Arliss is in the race to realize his clients' dreams of stupendous
wealth, but he's just as likely to put his reputation (and big bucks) on the
line to help a fading player claim his niche in history. As with HBO's The
Larry Sanders Show, Arli$$ gets a lot of mileage out of
verisimilitude. |
