Plot: A CIA operative on the verge of retirement discovers a family secret and is forced to go back into the field for one last job.
I was looking forward to this new series.
Season 1 of Fubar was a mixed-bag for me.
Pros: I liked the father and daughter relationship that developed between Luke and Emma. Arnold and Monica worked well together. The show does feel like chuck in my opinion, and I had a fun time watching this series.
A lot of viewers will be looking forward to this series because of Arnold’s involvement.
Cons: Each episode didn’t need to be 50 minutes long. The main plot started to lose its focus. The villain Boro was not that memorable and the action was not that impressive.
