Arsenio — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Arsenio has enviable talent, but offers no reason to exist, marooning Arsenio Hall and Vivica A. Fox in a shapeless sitcom that lacks any comedic or romantic spark.

Ray Richmond Variety 07/08/2019
A show that is so busy mining gender and familial stereotypes that it forgets to give its characters genuine emotions. Go to Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post 07/08/2019
A major problem is the domestication of Hall, who was a zany, manic thing on his talk show and here seems painfully restricted by the situation in the situation comedy. He's a butterfly pinned to velvet. Go to Full Review Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel 07/08/2019
ABC's bland Arsenio fails to exploit its star's charm. Go to Full Review James Endrst Hartford Courant 07/08/2019
After a lot of debate about what to call former talk show host Arsenio Hall's new show, they finally came up with the obvious. Hall's performance, on the other hand, is subdued to the point of weak-kneed. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
