Many have pointed out that he was extremely funny in the show, and he seems to have established himself as a 'comedy' hero following the series' release. 'FUBAR,' created by Nick Santora, premiered on Thursday, May 25, on Netflix. All the eight episodes of season 1 have been released.

The show traces the story of a father, Luke Brunner (Arnold Schwarzenegger), and his daughter Emma (Monica Barbaro), who work as CIA operatives, both of who have kept their involvement in the CIA hidden from one another. As the pair eventually learn the truth, they are forced to work together as partners and learn more about each other in the backdrop of massive action.
