Critics Consensus

With jokes that fall flat and a story that borrows liberally from star Arnold Schwarzenegger's earlier career triumphs, FUBAR is just OK.

Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) It’s a mild comedy and a tepid adrenalin shot. Leaning into satire might have saved it. Rated: 3/5 Jun 1, 2023 Full Review Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News . All the characters are engaging enough, and the cast... likable enough, although some of the performances are erratic and almost too casual. Rated: 2/4 May 31, 2023 Full Review Martin Robinson London Evening Standard It’s fairly standard fare which is a perfectly acceptable vehicle for Arnie coming back, but which also feels a little bit like a wasted opportunity. Rated: 3/5 May 30, 2023 Full Review Aditya Mani Jha Firstpost ...competently mounted pieces of media, one cannot help but see these enterprises as focus-grouped and audience-tested to oblivion, basically... Dec 20, 2023 Full Review Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu The spy-action-comedy is stuffed with family drama, dorky romance, an unhinged baddie, a ticking nuclear bomb and jokes that work sporadically Aug 27, 2023 Full Review Mark Meszoros The News-Herald (Willoughby, OH) Like so many streaming series, FUBAR simply doesn’t have enough story to justify its overall runtime, a real problem considering we’re talking about all of eight hours in this case.

David M This series has interesting characters and a good overall premise. Unfortunately the writing is abysmal. The two words that I use to describe the writing are juvenile and contrived. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/02/25 Full Review Dennis B Settle down critics - this is fun and light fare from an actor playing his age. I'm inspired from the sheer fact Arnold presents himself as a middle aged man - belly - no face lifts - no steroid muscles and self deprecating. It is a victory for growing old gracefully. This brought a genuineness to Fubar that spoke to me. Is it a little cheesy? - yes - is it Arnold paying homage to his body of work? - yes - and I love it. Easy to watch Easy to like Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/23/24 Full Review Cristian s Rápida, sencilla, repleta de accion, con humor de buena calidad, bien llevado y solo cuando es necesario. FUBAR entretiene como las mejores épocas en la carrera de Arnold Schwarzenegger e incluso tiene cierta semejanza a una de sus mejores películas (True Lies). Diferente y divertida. Personajes secundarios que destacan. Tiene potencial para mucho, ojala vaya por el buen camino. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/12/24 Full Review David M Enjoyable show. Well-written. Decent storyline and quite comical at times. Great cast and decent acting. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/25/24 Full Review Elvis D La fama de Arnold Schwarzenegger como estrella de acción ha envejecido bastante como él mismo y es claro que muchas de sus nuevas producciones no tienen ese brillo que tenían sus películas más conocidas. Con FUBAR, decidió apostar por una producción televisiva que no ofrece mucho, pero está bien. La serie es una mezcla de acción y comedia con momentos dramáticos que empieza siendo una historia de padre e hija. Dos agentes que comparten lazos sanguíneos y se han ocultado la verdad el uno hacia el otro hasta que empiezan a trabajar juntos y se descubren quienes son realmente. El agente Luke se siente decepcionado al descubrir que su hija Emma no es la hija perfecta que pretendía ser y Emma se muestra más defensiva al ver que su padre le ha estado ocultando la verdad todos estos años. La serie va enfocándose en como la relación entre ellos se desarrolla involucrando momentos humorísticos que incluyen a los compañeros de ambos personajes. Es una historia donde padre e hija deben aprender a entenderse el uno al otro. El antagonista Boro también se es un elemento con un cierto aporte en como la vida de Luke como agente afecto su vida familiar. Boro fue alguien que confiaba bastante en Luke hasta que todo sale a la luz y se vuelve su enemigo letal. Luke va prendiendo y reflexionando sobre como ser un agente afecto su matrimonio y su relación con Emma. Es una historia que pretende mostrar jugar con la identidad de un agente de la CIA como hombre de familia cuando no está trabajando. La intención era ofrecer una historia donde Arnold pueda ofrecer un rol más parental como hizo en Maggie y Jingle All The Way, pero sin dejar de lado su figura de hombre de acción. Aunque no hay muchas escenas de acción, la mayoría de esas escenas cumplen su cometido. Los chistes son en su mayoría buenos y están bien ubicados en los momentos adecuados. FUBAR es una serie que no puede ofrecer la adrenalina de las películas más populares Schwarzenegger, pero es una serie entretenida. Si se lo piensa, el concepto se lo puede interpretar como una parábola sobre que Arnold Schwarzenegger es un hombre común como todos oculto tras una emblemática figura de acción. Mi calificación para esta temporada es un 8/10. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/31/24 Full Review Rob A Overall it’s enjoyable and keeps you interested in what’s coming next. Looking forward to the 2nd season, nice bingeable serie if you want something easy. That’s it and that’s all!😉 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
