FUBAR (2023– )
7/10
I've stuck around
30 May 2023
Arnold Schwarzenegger was my idol as long as I can remember myself, I've seen a lot of his movies, most of them at least a dozen times and I still love him dearly. So naturally when I heard that he got himself mixed up in a TV thing I couldn't bail out of it - I had to stick around.

Fubar is one of those series that just never stops, with each episode ending on a cliffhanger, and I bingewatched the whole season within a day (such a Netflix thing to do). It's a fine blend of comedy, action, romance, family drama and pure dumb fun paying homage to such Arnold classics as True Lies (mostly) and most of his own catchphrases.

Schwarzenegger's character is a CIA operative working secretly from his family and trying to balance between them and work and I have to admit, the narrative has some pretty deep topics to think about - responsibilities before those we raised, priorities, regrets and past mistakes, love and unconditional devotion and so many others.

Despite the fact that the show is filled with cheesy action, over the top nonsense in the plot and bad CGI it also boasts one of the strongest cast teams where each character is alive and relatable and even the villain has proper motivation. In a word, I enjoyed these eight episodes a lot and there's no chance that I won't be back for season 2 if it drops.
