Arnold Schwarzenegger takes on one last job in trailer for Netflix’s FUBAR

Arnold Schwarzenegger (The Terminator) has been one of the most influential movie stars of the last 40 years. Now, Schwarzenegger is heading to television to star in his first scripted series, Netflix’s FUBAR.

FUBAR is an action comedy series that follows Schwarzenegger’s Luke, a retired CIA operative pulled back into the business to extract another operative and dangerous weapon from a secret location. Upon arrival, Luke discovers that his daughter, Emma (Top Gun: Maverick’s Monica Barbaro), is also a CIA operative, and that she hid her occupation from her father. Luke must set aside his preconceived notions and team up with his daughter to complete the mission.

Schwarzenegger, an executive producer on FUBAR, returns to his action-comedy roots, a genre made famous by the actor in films like True Lies and The Last Action Hero. When Netflix released the first teaser, Schwarzenegger said, “FUBAR will kick your ass and make you laugh – and not just for two hours. You get a whole season. It’s been a joy to work with [FUBAR creator] Nick [Santora], Skydance, and Netflix to give my fans exactly what they’ve been waiting for.”

Kevin Costner stares with cowboy flintiness in a still from Horizon: An American Saga—Chapter 1

The Western genre is not what it once was. There was a time when Westerns were like superhero movies. There were 40 of them in theaters per year, and most of them were bad. Today, Westerns have moved at least in part over to TV, and the ones that remain in theaters don't command the audience they once did.
Netflix actually has a pretty excellent selection of Westerns, though, and there's one in particular you should definitely check out this February. Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 was not the rollicking box office success that its star and director Kevin Costner may have hoped. The movie follows a group of disparate characters all moving towards the foundation of a shared town. The catch, though, is that this is just part one of a multi-part saga, and as a result, it cuts things off before the end of the story. All that being said, here are three reasons you should check it out now that it's on Netflix.

We also have guides to the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on Max, and the best movies on Disney+.
Costner can be an excellent director

Kevin Costner's movies are not uniformly excellent, but Horizon is shot like an old-fashioned Western, with plenty of sweeping vistas and beautiful landscapes. More importantly, Costner understands which scenes to keep and which to cut in his three-hour epic.
Each of the myriad characters at the story's center feels fully fleshed out by the time their chunk of the narrative has run its course. The story may not be over, but Costner leaves you wanting more.

A group of mothers take on the town responsible for poisoning their babies in the trailer for Toxic Town, an upcoming British drama series for Netflix.

Toxic Town is based on the true story of the Corby poisonings in the 1980s and 1990s, which became one of the biggest environmental scandals in UK history. Jodie Whittaker stars as Susan McIntyre, a local mother whose son is born with deformities. Susan initially blames herself for her son's problems. However, Susan eventually learns that other mothers in the community experienced the same problem with their children. "My son has been in pain his entire life, and it wasn't his fault," Susan passionately says in the trailer.

The cast of A Different World.

During 2024, Netflix added many classic sitcoms from the 1990s, including Martin, The Jamie Foxx Show, and Reba. That's given those shows a chance to find a new audience in the streaming era. This month, the streamer is doing it again with A Different World, and it's our pick for the one Netflix show that you have to watch in February.

This is significant because A Different World hasn't been readily available to stream or purchase on digital outlets. It's also been unjustly dragged down by the controversy surrounding Bill Cosby and the sexual assault allegations against him that has relegated The Cosby Show to streaming purgatory. A Different World is a spinoff from The Cosby Show, and characters from the latter did show up in the former. However, A Different World also established its own identity as a comedy, especially once Lisa Bonet, the original lead of the series, left the show.
