Having watched all 8 episodes in a couple of nights, all I can say is .... I'm not so sure it's worth it.
the pros: - if Cobra Kai did True Lies then you get this. It is a comedic take on a spy genre. It eventually works but you need a few episodes to acclimatise - Nice to see Monica Barbaro get a chance to stretch her legs following Top Gun Maverick. - Tina and Barry romance is a fun evolution. - a few minutes of Tom Arnold.
the cons: - Arnold looks old. This isn't Stallone in Tulsa King. and he seems to be shorter than everyone on screen which only grates when every character keeps referring to him as big man or weightlifting guy. - it's longer than it needs to be. a lot longer. - is it worth it?
Overall I was left with a feeling that True Lies is a solid rewatch these days. and Tom Arnold is fabulous in that.
I don't get much from this that is worth what you need to see to get to it. The action is cheesy at times and Arnold is way past his sell-by date.
