Arnold Schwarzenegger stars in the Netflix series "Fubar," a father-daughter action-comedy reminiscent of his 1994 film "True Lies." The show follows Schwarzenegger's character, Luke Brunner, a retired CIA agent who discovers that his daughter, Emma, played by Monica Barbaro, has been secretly recruited by the agency. Forced to team up, they navigate their strained relationship while tackling dangerous missions.
The series, executive produced by Schwarzenegger and Nick Santora, features Schwarzenegger's trademark charm and humor, along with Barbaro's impressive performance as a super-spy. However, the show falls into familiar territory and relies on predictable plot beats, including banter among the team members. While Schwarzenegger's return to the screen is welcomed, "Fubar" lacks fresh inspiration and feels somewhat tired.
Nonetheless, the show's cliffhanging episodes attempt to engage viewers, with highlights found in the chemistry between Schwarzenegger and Barbaro.
