Schwarzenegger series ordered at Netflix

Kind of a father/daughter, True Lies-esque thing.

Anything Schwarzenegger that isn't some version of Conan 3 sort of just earns a "meh" from me these days.

Pretty much. Like Patrick Stewart the guy is getting ridiculously old for this stuff and needs to pound it out or let it go.

So it's out on Netflix. FUBAR.



I watched the first episode. Eh. No, it's not very good. The jokes aren't really landing and Arnold isn't coming off looking very good. I'll keep going with it, though -- it's certainly better than 90% of Netflix's original output, still.

While not perfect, it's still better than the True Lies series. Let's just leave it at that. My mom liked thee first episode, though.

Ooof... season 2 marks an 80% audience decline. Maybe because they waited years.

This show is not good at all. I watched it all recently. Hopefully this is the end of it.

I saw the first episode and it was kinda cringe. He's just sooo ooold. This would have been great around 2000-2009 maybe.

I was reading something on this especially to do with Netflix recently regarding audience drop off because the average wait time between one season and the next is two years. All their seasons have dropped off due to long waits except Strsnger Things and The Crown.

Also Arnold is pushing 80. Nobody is getting excited as if this were 30 years ago.

There might, MIGHT still be some way to do a King Conan movie that still affords Arnold his dignity and can give us a good movie... but it couldn't be the kind of King Conan movie we would've imagined or hoped for 25 years ago, or even 10. Not anymore. A Predator movie, similar thing... you can always hand an old guy a gun, but obviously there'd be no hanging onto the bottom of trees or diving off cliffs anymore.

If we could get a convincing King Conan flick and also another meaningful appearance in Predator I'd be happy forever with Arnold's catalog. That would do it...
