Mixed reviews
Reviews so far have been mixed. When it comes to Allo cinema, “Fubar fails to strike the right balance between comedy and action. The episodes are way too long (50 minutes on average) and the dialogue is sluggish and ponderous.”for Numerama “We’re getting started footbar with the desire to unlock your head before explosions and intense arm fights, but you’d rather stay because of the good-natured atmosphere that emanates from it.” “We love hearing the tasty punchlines of these two roving takes.”
