Our Review
FUBAR (2023) is a comedy and action series from Netflix. It has built a run of 16 episodes. It premiered on May 25, 2023. Viewers rate it 6.3 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 2 seasons.
What FUBAR Is About
Luke and his daughter Emma have lied to each other for years, both of them not knowing the other is a CIA operative. Once they both learn the truth, they realize they don’t actually know anything about each other.
What to Expect When You Watch
The format keeps each instalment self-contained enough to drop into, the full run covers 16 episodes, spread across 2 seasons and it leans into its comedy/action roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Arnold Schwarzenegger, Monica Barbaro and Fabiana Udenio to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Monica Barbaro, Fabiana Udenio, Milan Carter, Fortune Feimster and Travis Van Winkle lead the cast.
Key roles include Arnold Schwarzenegger as Luke Brunner; Monica Barbaro as Emma Brunner; Fabiana Udenio as Tally Brunner; Milan Carter as Bartholomew "Barry" Putt; Fortune Feimster as Ruth "Roo" Russell.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of comedy, action and espionage have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Netflix’s other originals, a 6.3/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2023 and carried by Netflix with the series still ended, it lands hardest with comedy and action viewers.
How FUBAR Compares
If FUBAR lands for you, the next stops are Nathan for You, Taskmaster and Seinfeld, which share its comedy/action lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

On the whole FUBAR is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Monica Barbaro doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its comedy/action roots, It has held up since 2023 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
FUBAR is a safe bet for anyone already inside the comedy and action lane, at 16 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 6.3/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 6.3/10. Watch it if you want comedy/action you can settle into.
