    Great show!
    This radio drama is fabulous, and a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed the sound effects, they are surprisingly crucial in world building. Patiently waiting for the next season.

    Silly Fun SpyFi
    It’s great to have a future that isn’t totally grim. But I wish they’d done a lot more worldbuilding. There’s really no feeling of what it’s like to live in that future. Almost no ambient soundscape for it at all … just plot related sound effects. Two of the voices are pretty similar so a few scenes got muddled by that … it does straighten out later. They really dwell on a “romantic” plot device that feels very forced and dated. Plot is completely silly and thin and also not resolved. So this is probably intended to be the start of a series. Otherwise it’s well produced.

    Fabulous
    Everything about this podcast is great! The music, writing, acting, EVERYTHING is so exciting. Can’t wait for season 2

    Very much in the style of classic Gerry Anderson productions
    I really enjoyed the intrigue and twists on the plot. Just like the best of classic Gerry Anderson shows, First Action Bureau is a wonderful mix of sci-fi and thriller. It was over way too fast, making me want more. FAB!

    Action and Intrigue
    The first series of FAB is out, and is a wild roller coaster of action and intrigue, expertly written, directed, performed and produced. Amazingly, it’s free with the promise of more to come, both literally via Jamie Anderson and from the loose ends left for the creative team to tie up after the big reveal in Eoisode 10. Think you know what’s really happening here? You might want to think again! FAB is fabulous!
  • Oddball Extreme
    Loving the excitement of this spy-fi drama!
    Having listened to the first four episodes, I am really enjoying the suspense, the drama, the UFO-esque atmosphere, and the cast. I am definitely wanting MORE and can’t wait for the next episodes!
  • "42"
    Not bad... not bad at all!
    A worthy addition to the Gerry Anderson line-up. Any chance of a “Joe 90” mini-series next?
  • Nate512
    First Action Bureau is FAB!
    Love it and can’t wait for more content. Gerry would approve!
  • ph.town
    FAB
    what a great great sci-fi adventure. I’ve heard other podcasts and they have really bad actors. To have a great podcast you need really great actors and this has them. You’re transported by their skill to the future. Technically this is a superior podcast can’t believe they did this during the pandemic. Brilliant guys keep up the good work.
  • Vulpine
    Certainly up to Anderson standards:
    I think Gerry would be proud of this effort. I hope to see much more of the Anderson family programs, despite living in the US and not the UK.
  • PDXRedcoat
    A worthy addition to the Anderson universe.
    If the first three episodes are anything to go by, this podcast production can rightly claim it’s place alongside the classic Gerry Anderson productions! The performances are top notch, the music is dramatic and atmospheric, and the writing gets you hooked into a brand new world without holding your hand and explaining too much, while also not leaving you wondering what’s going on (other than the mysterious events occurring, of course). I look forward to the rest of the season, and hopefully further adventures with the FAB team in the future!
