Netflix’s own big new title for the week that it’s throwing its weight behind is FUBAR, the new series that sees Arnold Schwarzenegger in a TV role for the first time.
The series is about a father and daughter discovering they’re secretly working for the CIA, and a new mission sees them tangled up.
Reviews have been all over the place thus far, with critics ultimately mixed carrying a 48/100 on Metacritic thus far. The Daily Beast was the least kind referring to it as a “horribly scratched record.”
World of Goo Remastered
