FUBAR

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.

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.

This would have been a lot more fun without all the father, daughter, wife, boyfriend drama. It really cut into the action and the rhythm of the show. Maybe they thought this should be more of a romcom with the spy theme on the side. Maybe they thought it would draw more women in to watch the show. I don't know. But, whatever their reasoning, it was a real buzz kill. It distracted from the funny, exciting parts of the show. I did a lot of fast-forward with my remote to get past the "relationship" segments.

Beyond that, it was an enjoyable and even, at times, an edge of your seat thriller. Reminded me of some of the original Schwarzenegger films with a little extra James Bond thrown in. Worth trying out, if you don't mind a lot of family pettiness.

I was sure that it would suck. Old Arnold in a cheesy show produced by Netflix? I just wanted to know how much it sucked. I was pleasantly surprised. Of course, it's not great. It's a cheesy classic Netflix-produced show but it's pretty good (and funny). Arnold is as funny as ever and Barbaro is a very exciting up-and-coming talent.

Arnold is such a great comedian. That's where he shines the brightest - especially an older and less physical Arnold. Barbaro and Arnold are a great duo. This show has moments that will make you laugh out loud. I laughed many times when watching. But take Arnold out and it wouldn't work obviously. Just like most of his other movies, he is the main attraction.

It's nothing crazy, but it's a pleasant surprise coming from Netflix. It won't win any awards but it's a decent watch for Arnold fans.

These dreadfully lame scripts must be the work of high school students. I have no other explanation about the material:). Watching one and a half episode was complete waste of time. Poor acting and recycled clichés. The scenes are delivered with amateurish filmmaking, the actors are reciting the dialogue....also lacking any comedic moments or thrilling action despite the constant attempts at jokes and stunts. It's a disappointment on all fronts, leaving no room for laughter or excitement. It's baffling how such uninspiring scripts made their way into production, but alas, it seems the blame falls on the network and producers that put little or no effort in creating meaningful content.
