“‘FUBAR’ Review: Arnold Schwarzenegger Enters His Dad Jokes Years In His TV Debut”

“Rather than half-ass FUBAR‘s self-referential shenanigans, Schwarzenegger embraces them wholeheartedly. This is his first starring role in a TV show, so for the actor it’s an occasion to relish. Here, he plays Luke Brunner, a globetrotting CIA super agent on the cusp of retirement. The show kicks off as he completes One Last Mission in Antwerp, fills out his paperwork, and hangs up his various undercover aliases for good. But one doesn’t simply retire from being a CIA super agent, so when his boss, Dot (Barbara Eve Harris), presents him with a second One Last Mission – one only a guy like Luke Brunner can handle – he accepts. And going by his own moral code, Luke doesn’t have a choice. There’s a field agent embedded in Guyana in danger of having their cover blown, and it’s up to him to pull his fellow spy out before they’re discovered and killed.” (Full review up at The Playlist.)
