FUBAR (Netflix)
Arnold Schwarzenegger returns to action as Luke Brunner, a veteran CIA agent on the verge of retirement who discovers that his daughter Emma (Monica Barbaro) also works for the agency. What should be a quiet exit soon turns into a series of undercover missions, false identities, and impossible operations in which father and daughter are forced to collaborate without being able to fully trust one another. Blending action and comedy, the series plays with family tension within a spy universe as chaotic as it is unpredictable.
The Night Agent (Netflix)
An FBI agent on night duty at the White House mans a phone line that never rings… until a call drags him into a conspiracy that reaches the highest echelons of power. From that moment on, Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) is forced to protect Rose Larkin (Luciane Buchanan), a young tech entrepreneur also caught up in the plot. Together, they try to uncover who is behind it all while fleeing a network that is always one step ahead.
Reacher (Prime Video)
When Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) arrives in a seemingly quiet small town, the last thing he expects is to be accused of a murder he didn’t commit. With no fixed identity or ties, this retired Military Police officer turned drifter is forced to prove his innocence while uncovering a web of corruption that extends far beyond anyone’s imagination. In his wake, the rules are quickly broken: the protagonist acts with a mix of intelligence and brute force that makes him both a threat and the last hope for those who cross his path.

Along the way, he comes into conflict with the authorities while crossing paths with old acquaintances like his former friend Billy Russo and unexpected allies like Micro, a former NSA analyst. Amid the violence and the search for the truth, the protagonist spirals deeper into a downward spiral that pushes him further and further to the limit and distances him from any possibility of a normal life.
