Netflix has released 8 episodes of FUBAR, the first series starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, and viewers are already starting to draw their own conclusions.
It was found on Twitter that most of the fans liked it and that others found it addictive, despite the questionable quality or similarity to other productions.
The truth is that FUBAR is quite an event, simply because it marks the debut of the 75-year-old actor and politician on the small screens.

The plot closely follows a veteran CIA agent (Schwarzenegger) who takes on one last mission before retiring for good, only to discover during the mission that his daughter (Monica Barbaro) is also working undercover.
The brand of action and humor that defines Nick Santora’s series means that Arnold receives some tributes in life. For this reason, at the beginning of the first story, there is a nod to one of the greatest successes in the actor’s career.
In the middle of one scene, the old star appears dressed in a leather jacket and rides with a fiercer face, just like the Terminator in James Cameron’s movie of the same name.
In FUBAR they don’t mention the Terminator directly, but it’s easy to tell that it’s referring to the eightieth episode.

When he landed on Netflix, Arnold took the opportunity to indirectly talk about his life through the themes of continuing the story.
In FUBAR, Lucas (as he plays) has his life estranged from his wife and children, which leads to a divorce. Something similar to this happened in real life: for secrets from his wife, Mary Shiver, ended up separating them both.
Monica Barbaro plays Arnold’s daughter.
The actor confirmed the similarity: Schwarzenegger told the Hollywood Reporter that FUBAR feels “like a documentary” about his life.
“The difference is that Luke doesn’t consider cheating on the show to be part of his profession. His wife left him because he was never home, and now he has this dilemma with his daughter because she has the same job and their relationship is going to be ruined too. But in[mea vita reali matrimonii ad Shriver]it was a screw for me. It was my failure,” he added in that interview.
