Thunderbirds Are Go (2015–2020)
7/10
Well-made reboot, with one major flaw
6 February 2022
I grew up with the original and introduced this reboot to my kids, and they love it. I don't mind that it's CGI rather then puppets, because all the other major elements remain: the countdown, the music, the vehicles and the Tracy Brothers... ah, the Tracy Brothers, the all-white, male team of "International" rescue. Why-oh-why couldn't they bring this huge part of the show up to date. The only non-white member is Brains, who has been given an Asian stuttering accent. 🤦

A shout out, though, to David Graham, the voice behind Parker - who played the same character in the original in the 60s!! He's 95 years old and still finding the time to do Peppa Pig. Now there's a career.
