'Best new release on Netflix'
Fans took to social media to shower praises on the series. "#Arnold as a worried spy dad is just what a blockbuster series needs. I binged watched the entire show and now I am eagerly waiting for the second season," one user tweeted. "Loving it so far! The subtle humour in some scenes(listen for the bass guitarist's playing after an 'incident' in the first episode). I'm not going to binge watch though, I'm going to savour the series," another user wrote. "Watching it now on episode 5 at the moment, so far excellent funny great action sequences and above all a terrific cast," said one user. One said, "Already watched the first 3- fun and action. Best new release on Netflix in months."
"I love FUBAR. You and Monica Barbaro are great in the show. Plenty of action and laughs for the whole family. Along with some movie reunions," one user wrote, while another said, "Absolutely brilliant Arnold!" one user wrote. "Currently viewing. Arnold still the GOAT confirmed," said one user, while another said, "The new series Fubar with Arnold Schwarzenegger on Netflix is really funny! Dark humor. The show doesn’t take itself seriously at all and that’s why it is so good. Arnold is almost retired CIA with a daughter who True Lies him and then they have to work a mission together."
