Review of FUBAR

FUBAR (2023– )
5/10
Was hoping it would be episodic with more action and more (low/non-filtered) daytime outdoor scenes
16 June 2023
As the title said, I was really hoping this would be an episodic style spy action show with some 2 parters. Instead, it's the stretched out movie style that's common for TV shows released on streaming platforms. I wasn't into the plot, characters, settings, or pacing.

The amount of time that features actions scenes is disappointingly low, maybe 1/10 of the time or less. I don't think most people seeing the cover art of a show starring Arnold called Fubar expects it to be filled with a lot of serious drama scenes but this has a lot of that. I can deal with it being unrealistic if it was more fun, but it's not. It's also not really funny if you're hoping for more comedy, maybe a few laugh out loud moments, but generally it's more a mix of drama and some light hearted humor.

Arnold's character is pretty much what you'd expect. The team he works with is a variety of character types, none really stand out helping the show.

I'm also not a fan of overdoing color filters and a lot of dark scenes but unfortunately Fubar is mostly a mix of that. They really overdo the yellow filter in particular, the first outdoor scene where the yellow filter is really amped up is almost unintentionally funny for that reason.
