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

I wasn't sure what to expect of this show. Arnold Schwarzenegger movies have a certain quality and his TV shows I expected would be much the same, and it didn't disappoint. This was a typical Schwarzenegger bit of fun, and for that it was great. It added the complexity of a daughter who hated him and an ex-wife who didn't like him because he was a spy, all with a degree of importance given to their handlers, which was good. But it wasn't quite how the CIA actually operates, as actual CIA operatives aren't allowed to have families, at least not in that way, as it's far too dangerous. CIA operatives have to stay single, with flings allowed but nothing long-term, unless it's with another CIA operative, but even then it has to be limited in case one of them is a double-agent. So the whole idea of him having a family made no sense and it really highlighted why the CIA doesn't allow operatives to have families. Nonetheless, I enjoyed that the first episode ended on a cliffhanger, and even that it was resolved in the second episode, only to have another cliffhanger that had to be resolved. As it progressed, I started to get excited that that was the formula - much like the 1960's version of the Batman TV show, which always ended on a cliffhanger and called on watchers to catch them next time on the "same bat time, same bat channel" as Batman was about to die, only to sort it all out almost immediately in the next episode. But then, half-way through the series, they changed their mind about it, and it became rather boring, losing a lot of its early charm. They also seemed to have just one bad guy for the entire series, which was also a bit boring. However, the ending was quite good and lifted it up almost to the quality it was at mid-series before they stopped doing cliffhangers every episode (hint: bring the end-of-episode cliffhangers back! They might be tropes but they are fun tropes and these were done really well! It made me nostalgic for the 1960's Batman TV show!) So how do I rate it? Well, I really enjoyed the first few episodes and would have had it at about 6/10 or 7/10 for the fun element combined with the fun cliffhangers after every episode, which were good tropes that I really enjoyed - though it was let down by being unrealistic in terms of the family of the CIA thing because that's not how the CIA works. I know that they do that with American Dad too, but American Dad actually does it in a more realistic way (I know, with the talking goldfish and the alien) because the family all know he is in the CIA so that makes it more believable and if they know then it might be possible to hide it. But then the series in the second half was much worse, and it was struggling to be 3/10 or at most 4/10, but I am not sure if it averages out to 3.5 or closer to 3. But then the last episode, especially the ending, was a lot better, and was perhaps a solid 7/10. I'm tempted to say 8, but it's probably not that high, so let's say 7.5. So if I average it out to 7, 7, 6.5, 6, 6, 3, 3.5, 7.5 then what's my total? So that's 46.5 in 8 episodes so the average is just under 6. It has merit and I would be interested in seeing what it can do in the second season. It has the potential to improve, but if it gets worse then I might just dump it. I gave it overall an average of 6/10.

Everything about this is just delightful. CHARACTERS: Every character is brilliantly written. They all have their own quirks and relationships with each other. The show does an excellent job of playing the characters off each other. In doing so, you see new dimensions to the characters unfold over time. You'll both be emotionally engaged with the character, while also laughing out loud at the situations they get themselves in. PLOT: The plot certainly lives up to the title of FUBAR, as there's always something going wrong. The disasters create an equal mix of suspense amd humor. ACTION: Despite having a strong comedy flavor to it, FUBAR is no slough in the action, with some beautifully choreographed scenes. The middle parts of each episode can sometimes be a little slow as they set the table for what's to come. But other than that, this is an exceptional show!

So original , cute and funny. Arnold is always entertaining. Lots of suspenseful moments and funny one liners. I hope they have a season 2!

Enjoyable and fun to watch. The characters aren't multi dimensional but who cares? It's Ahnold, being Ahnold.

It was goofy and stupid but fun!
-
I enjoyed this show. The humor is very "Arnold". All the bad puns and quips, that's what makes this show awesome in my opinion. People can say what they want (Including Critics) and I'll still want a second season. Can't wait for it.
-
Lots of great action! Arnold schwarzenegger was awesome as always!
-
Garbage. As a Guyanese, I felt offended that they have no clue about Guyana but they try to incorporate it into their show. Could have choose any of other 12 countries in South America. For future reference,Guyana is made up Indian, African and Indigenous as the majority not Spanish as depicted in your show. Do some research.

Loved the blend of comedy and action.

It's classic Schwarzenager. Formulaic, but entertaining.
