Mr. Schwarzenegger, I must address you directly because your recent Netflix series, "Fubar," deserves some serious questioning.

As the Terminator, Conan the Barbarian, and a former governor of California, you are a household name, but your latest endeavor leaves us perplexed.

"Fubar" feels like an AI attempt at an Arnold Schwarzenegger show gone terribly wrong, filled with clichés, cringe, and confusion.

The dialogue in the series is so poorly written that it's hard to believe actual humans were behind it. Whatever Netflix paid you for this series, it certainly wasn't worth it.

Luke discovers that his fellow agent, working undercover, is none other than his own daughter, Emma, portrayed by Monica Barbaro.

The series attempts to inject humor into their dysfunctional relationship, resulting in awkward jokes and painful scenarios.

To fix their issues, the CIA forces Luke and Emma into therapy sessions together—with puppets.

Alongside Luke and Emma, there are other stereotypical characters, including a tech guy, other agents, Luke's ex-wife, and Emma's boyfriend.

Even if we ignore the absurd premise of a father-daughter duo on a mission, what is remotely appealing about this story?

Is it the tasteless jokes about Luke pretending to sleep with his daughter? Or the sight of Schwarzenegger fighting over a malfunctioning office chair?

The attempts at comedy by Feimster and Van Winkle fall flat, adding nothing but slapstick to the series.

The action sequences are yawn-worthy, neither good nor bad enough to be enjoyable.

"Fubar" reduces Monica Barbaro, who shined in "Top Gun: Maverick," to a whining punchline.

Schwarzenegger's performances, delivered by his stunt double, feel uninspired and verge on self-parody.

Each 45-minute episode of "Fubar" drags on, making it feel like an eternity.

Other cinematic icons have successfully transitioned to great television, but "Fubar" misses the mark entirely.

While there are gems like "Only Murders in the Building," we also get disappointments like Sylvester Stallone's "Tulsa King."

Unfortunately, "Fubar" lives up to its title, broken beyond repair, leaving us wondering how Schwarzenegger could have gone so wrong.
