Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
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.

Season 2 Review:
Here, he [Schwarzenegger] proves that the old magic still endures when using a length of rubber tubing to choke out a henchman, before declaring, “you’re hosed”. For those raised on ridiculous action movies, such lines have the ring of pure poetry and Arnie remains the undisputed champion of banging bad guys’ heads together with a wink.

Season 2 Review:
The season does feel strained at times under the weight of so many characters, and the series should occasionally take greater advantage of its potential for scale and action. FUBAR has proven itself a series worth tuning in for with Season 2, but it's still one in deep need of streamlining.

Season 2 Review:
The action isn’t as exciting as it could be, the pacing drags whenever the focus shifts to the love triangle between Schwarzenegger, Fabiana Udenio, and second-season guest star Carrie-Anne Moss, and the thematically explosive mishaps aren’t as impactful this time around.

Season 1 Review:
Erected on a framework of spy film tropes, or cliches, if you like, or homages, if you prefer, predictable in a good way or predictable in a bad way depending on how much or little one likes to be surprised, “FUBAR” is willfully ridiculous, but it also wants to be kind of real and even meaningful about family and what really matters in life.

Season 1 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.

Season 1 Review:
There are just enough moments of B-movie action thrills in the season’s best episodes to keep people watching, but this is the definition of Netflix’s “Watch While You Use Your Phone” television—maybe you won’t notice its lack of new ideas or willingness to repeat the same lame bits over and over again.

Season 1 Review:
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.
