Sure, its plot is beyond far-fetched (I do not think agents in the field halt their operations to take calls from their clueless fiancés), but the various prison breaks and assorted capers are sharply edited together and clever. Alongside that, the comedy works, too, largely due to the terrific supporting cast. Read full review

Schwarzenegger shows the viewer that he is chiefly a comedian. Hence Twins with Danny DeVito, Kindergarten Cop and now this. Read full review

If you’re a fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger; you’re going to love FUBAR. If you’re not, then it won’t do a damn thing to change your mind. Read full review

Arnold fans may find a lot of fun in the nostalgia soup of FUBAR, a show that does its level best to go down easy and throw a few member berries into our mouths. But at eight punishing hours, all of them stuffed with lukewarm melodrama and tepid, repetitive jokes, FUBAR may make you want to go AWOL from your Netflix subscription. Read full review

While “FUBAR” gets the ‘80s superstar back in the saddle, it should have been attached to a different horse – one that hadn’t already been put out to pasture. This takes too much time to get up to speed. Read full review

But, even at only eight episodes long, the series starts to dip and wane in multiple places - meaning it may take longer than expected to actually make your way through to the end, and likely for minimal reward. Read full review

The Daily Beast Nick Schager

May 25, 2023

By its third episode, FUBAR is already skipping like a horribly scratched record, having its two leads rehash their bedrock gripes to brain-numbingly unrewarding ends. .... There’s plenty of action in FUBAR, but it’s of an amateurish sort, and lowlighted by the show’s directors shooting and cutting around the fact that the 75-year-old Schwarzenegger doesn’t move like he used to—or, for that matter, much at all. .... Without Schwarzenegger’s participation, FUBAR wouldn’t exist. Read full review

Arnold didn't disappoint with this action comedy series. I can't wait for season 2.

I loved the show so much I watched all of the episodes in one go because I can't stop despite needing to get up early the next day for work. Actually, it was already the next day when I finished watching. All the actors gave topnotch performance. The writers did a phenomenal job with all the characters by developing each of the characters. The whole series is not dragging with the 8 episodes. The actions scenes are great and the drama is just right. Direction and Production are gorgeous. The settings, shots and scenes are movie quality.… Expand

Turkish prison guard being an Arab, prisoners being tortured regularly and implying any prisoner escaping would be killed etc. shows the West is still stuck in the times of Oriental Express...

Turks are not Arabs and death penalty was abolished in 80's, though torture is a problem it's very rare. This narrative is either intentional or super ignorent. You can do better.

You will enjoy the show if you keep expectations low though. It's funny, fast paced, action filled.… Expand

This was honestly just boring. I'm an Arnold fan, but this show really had no momentum, was not funny, felt overlong and mostly pointless. It's clearly trying to do the whole True Lies thing again, except without any of the charm, wit or humour.

Series name checks out, the irony is not lost on us. Nuff said. The one who did the best job is Arnie's agent who probably got this fading star a huge paycheck to ride into the sunset with, not looking back at the mess he left.

25 minutes of viewing and the woke agenda is already full. Schwarzenegger's support team is unbearable and not credible. The cast of whites only offers us cucks.

Schwarzenegger's support team is unbearable and not credible. The cast of whites only offers us cucks. Schwarzenegger does even more pain on screen than Stallone in Tulsa King, he recites his text and the stuntman takes his place for the action. The sad thing is that young Netflix audiences don't know their legendary action movies from the 80s and 90s and will appreciate this kind of thing.… Expand
