FUBAR Season 1 Review

A core concept about a spy whose family is drawn into his work sounds a lot like James Cameron’s 1994 action-comedy thriller ‘True Lies’, which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis.And indeed, such a show exists –– it’s even called ‘True Lies’ and has the same plotline albeit with some tweaks –– but unfortunately that series, which had its first season on CBS, failed to ignite interest with audiences and has been cancelled.

Premiering its entire first season on Netflix, ‘FUBAR’ is an example of how to do that story with an even lighter touch and while it may not have the title, it does have a not-so-secret weapon: the return of Arnold Schwarzenegger to the blend of laughs and set-pieces that made ‘True Lies’ so entertaining.What happens in ‘FUBAR’?The series follows Schwarzenegger’s Luke Brunner, a CIA operative with a knack for inventively taking down bad guys (essentially an Arnie character from his 1980s heyday) and a venerable reputation
