Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as Luke Brunner—a family man who has secretly been one of the CIA’s top operatives for the past 40 years. Following an easy success with his final mission, Luke prepares to retire and leave the world of espionage behind for good—or so he thinks. After being pulled aside by friend and fellow agent Barry, Luke is informed that he’s been assigned a final final mission: to infiltrate a terrorist commune and exfiltrate a CIA plant as well as a portable nuclear bomb. Luke and his team of operatives arrive on scene to escort the CIA’s embedded agent only to discover that this secret agent is none other than Luke’s daughter Emma. With their world thrown into chaos, the father-daughter duo must renavigate their relationship while simultaneously fighting to maintain international peace.

Yet Another Netflix Action Comedy

FUBAR makes history as it gives Arnold Schwarzenegger’s his first-ever starring role in a scripted TV series. Unfortunately, that’s all this show has to offer when it comes to new or noteworthy ideas. From recycled jokes to played-out tropes, FUBAR attempts to sell its audience a new car made entirely out of old parts.

First things first, FUBAR does have a decent amount of positives going for it. The cast does the best that they can with the script that they were provided, and the chemistry between characters is surprisingly functional. Schwarzenegger’s performance is decent. While lacking in depth, he still manages to keep up the charm and pairs well with actors like Milan Carter and Monica Barbaro. The show’s action sequences are well executed, and the show ekes out just enough creativity with its visuals to avoid being a boring watch.
