Arnie is Back :cool:

That was the best they could come up with for the trailer?

I don't think anyone would say that's a trailer..

"FUBAR tackles universal family dynamics set against a global backdrop of spies, action and humor"

Hey Arnie - Tell me you're doing a disappointing remake of True Lies, without telling me you're doing a disappointing remake of True Lies....

It looks meh but Monica Barbaro is fine AF so I'll probably watch it

I quite liked the exchange between him and his daughter, e.g. such as the lipstick.

Not something I'll be eager to watch in a hurry, but maybe one for a rainy day.

I've binged 4 episodes since last night and happy to report it's rather entertaining whilst still being solid in the action and violence department. It's a mix of various shows that focus on espionage/spycraft and keeping it a secret from family etc, mix of funny moments and serious and some nice eye candy too.

What's not to like for fun entertainment. Reminds me of Chuck in many ways.

More interested in the documentary Netflix are releasing about him

Classic Arnie stuff if you can switch off brain and enjoy - too hit and miss for me.

I managed half an episode before switching it off.

Like the majority of Netflix productions it just comes across as cheesy and low budget.

I lasted half an episode here too. I like Arnie. Don't mind cheesy stuff from him. He often plays roles a bit tounge in cheek. Light hearted. That can be a good thing but this is a bit too whacky for me. Seems to be aimed at teenagers. Not for me I'm afraid.

1st ep watched so far

mrk · 27 May 2023 at 20:14

"You seem to be shocked to see me" - Arnie still using his one liners hah

I will have finished the season tonight.I'd give it a swift 7/10 really. Entertaining, funny, Archer/Chuck style humour/characters.

I tink this may be more favoured by those who grew up watching Arnie flicks in a broad sense, not just his serious stuff like Terminator, and whose years of youth were spent being exposed to shows like Chuck.

I did love Chuck...

C Kent · 30 May 2023 at 00:11

Managed to get through ep3 and just can't do anymore. I love me some Arnie, even his non action stuff but this was just bad, the comedy was non existent and Arnie, his daughter and the team were all pretty terrible. Typical Netflix show really.

iron_monkey · 30 May 2023 at 00:21

Pretty weak show

mattx4 · 30 May 2023 at 02:05

Too much cringe comedy not enough action

theone8181 · 30 May 2023 at 06:27

Huh didn't realise it was a series, thought it was just a film. Haven't actually started to watch it yet though.

smokedog · 30 May 2023 at 11:23

I enjoyed the first 2 eps and then it started to feel too monotonous. I'm lacking any motivation to continue with the 5th episode. I think this would've worked better as a film
