Review of FUBAR

FUBAR (2023– )
7/10
Such an odd one, Sly wins, but still entertaining
23 December 2023
I was kind of set on being dissapointed seeing all the negative reviews. I'm an Arnie fan, but normally that was because he played the cool role and acting was otherwise mostly just that: look cool, short lines. You can see he's struggling, aging didn't help either, with the longer lines and complexities of his role. But somehow, It doesn't seem to matter how crappy his acting is, he still has that unique charm.

That said, I almost stopped during the first episode. It's so cliche, some wokeness here and there, but most of all, so badly made, written and acted. It was just a mess. Jokes were cheap and weak, characters were very whatever. And yet, somewhere during ep 2 or 3 I guess It started to grow on me. Some more life in the characters, the jokes became a bit more casually funny and you shouldn't take anything they do serious, because most If It doesn't make much sense.

So, yeah, oddball. I can see It's mostly amateurish to the level of "The A-team" almost, but It still has a charm that makes me enjoy watching.

It's like True lies, but with his daughter instead this time, that same attempt on lightheartedness, just not as well written and made, but still enjoyable.

But, If It's a competition between Arnie & Sly, then Sly won this round as the TV-show Tulsa King is the clear winner!
