Fubar

This show is exactly what you would expect from an Arnold Schwarzenegger show. FUBAR is about a CIA operative (Schwarzenegger) who's about to retire but gets pulled back for one last job. That job is to go help another operative finish an important mission and to his surprise it's his own daughter (Monica Barbaro) who he had no idea was also in the CIA. What follows is plenty of action and laughs. This is a very easy watch for you to just turn your brain off and enjoy it for what it is. I hope they give this another season. This feels a lot like a True Lies sequel and while not as good as that it's still worth watching.

FUBAR is actually better than I thought it would be. I was expecting some past his prime Schwarzenegger series that was going to be kind of corny. And it is but in a good way. It held my attention throughout the season. I actually liked it enough to where I binged all 8 episodes over the course of a few days. I grew up in the 80's and 90's so I've seen most of Arnold's movies and this is a throwback to those kind of movies and shows. It also stars the beautiful Monica Barbaro as his daughter and Travis Van Winkle as his colleague. If you're an Arnold fan this give this a try...you won't be disappointed.

The concept for the show is rather inane. Young female CIA agent gets angry when she finds out that her father is a CIA agent and she is pissed off that he kept his real job a secret. Ha ha ha

If she is a CIA agent then she must be fully aware of the need to keep secrets. Now she is angry at her father but she does the exact same thing - keeps secrets from her dopey boyfriend.

We know that "young generations" are spoiled kids that have a difficult time growing up and controlling their emotions. I would assume that a young female agent who is off the charts smart would be a bit grown up but she acts like a petulant little child. Lots of toxic femininity.

Funny also how young CIA agent thinks she is more capable than an old experienced agent. Stupid.

This really is the most wonderful rubbish. The plot lines are tenuous at best. The characters are comic book stereotypes. The scripts and delivery are spot on for comic effect. It is surprisingly violent in the later episodes of the second series.

It is a massive easter egg hunt for Arnold fans. There are references to loads of his previous work and not just the Terminator series. I spotted a dozen or so but I expect I missed a few. Look out for Conan the Barbarian!

Why watch it? Because it really is FUBAR, it is a huge piss take of the genera. Arnold dominates the whole thing the show orbits around him.

If you are an Arnold fan you will get a few good laughs as you hang onto the roller coaster that is FUBAR!

PS: It will put you off bacon.

Need to 'let off some steam Bennett?' Then 'come with me if you want to live' and 'get to the choppa' and watch Fubar.

This is actually good and I'm so glad. It's Arnie. On TV. Being Arnie, on TV. It's as you think it will be but actually better. Nobody is more surprised than me, I can tell ya. I'm only a couple episodes in, so it may well go south but so far its actually good!

Yep, there's a barely believable back story but that's ok.

Yep, Arnie still can't act but that's always been ok hasn't it?

And yep, he's old, but who cares?

Give it a go, you'll like it. If you don't - 'consider that a divorce'.
