Arnold is clearly way too old for this

A 65 years old field agent, who is going to believe that?

The laser cutting concrete scene is kind of embarrassing. Another WMD story? Those writers are getting way too lazy. Or maybe they think their audiences are all idiots.

I could not even finish the first episode.

I binged like 5 episodes and even though it's not reinventing the wheel in the action genre, I found it to be watchable... Arnold's screen presence and charisma are definitely carrying the show for me... a 'watchable' 6.5/10.

Hope they get a second season and a better plot.

Yeah, he's old, we get it, that's probably why he keeps repeating "I'm too old for this shit..."

Arnold is funny and the daughter is hot. They both seem really dumb for being supposedly the smartest spies in their respective classes though.

And shouldn't a spy be nondescript and able to blend in? Wouldn't someone who looks like Arnold be instantly recognizable and easy for people to remember?

And the BMW sports car in the episode 1 before Arnold disguising as a fireman. No real spy would drive it on a mission.

And stealing a large amount of diamonds for an operation? Didn't even clean it before a meet? A human trafficker having problems with stolen diamonds?

Instead of giving an address, GPS coordinates are given, why?

Facial scan to an unknown location and through walls, how? Where are the cameras? And air force response in 5 seconds? Just how stupid they think people are?

I don't even know what to describe how ludicrous of all these are.

65 in the show, but he's actually in his mid 70s. Fool is too old for this.

That is only partially the point I was trying to make.

People of over 50 are usually either promoted to management, or assigned to back office. Why was he still working front line in the field? That is just unrealistic.

Fits in the direct to video movies we've been getting from Arnold in the last ten years, around the time Terminator Genisys and Dark Fate had been coming out I haven't seen anything of interest from Arnold.
