‘FUBAR’ sees Arnold Schwarzenegger playing the role of retired CIA employee Luke Brunner who has been called back for a deadly mission. However, things go downhill when he gets to know that his daughter Emma (Monica Barbaro) is also working on the same case as an undercover agent. Now, Luke has the responsibility to defeat the bad guy and be a good father at the same time. More importantly, how far is he willing to go to prevent his daughter from making the same mistakes as he once did?

The series opened to extremely positive reviews from the audiences who noted that the show played to Arnold’s strengths. Fans feel that the latest series is really funny and doesn’t take itself seriously. That’s one of the reasons why this show is such a massive success among viewers.
