The plot: Follows the life of Arnold Schwarzenegger, from his days of lifting weights to his successes in Hollywood, his time serving as governor of California, and both the joys and volatility of his family life.
I was intrigued for this new limited series after seeing the first trailer.
This new limited series was fantastic.
Pros: I loved how it took its time with its pacing for each episode focusing on a achievement in Arnold’s life. Listening to Arnold himself going through his journey from Body-builder to Mega Movie Star to Governor, Which was raw and honest. By watching I learnt new information from this series and I was impressed on how many of Arnold’s co-workers, co-stars and friends took part in this.
Cons: There’s not that much wrong about this limited series.
