Review of Thunderbirds

Thunderbirds (1965–1966)
10/10
British Star Trek

When I look at this series today, I'm reaffirmed at how stunningly beautiful it was made. Every prop is life like, and designs so tasteful.

Episodes has kind of British flare to them as well. I've heard that each of the Tracys were conceived with the American audience in mind speaking with American accent, but the supporting casts were very British in their demeanor.

It's unbelievable that Derek Meddings came up with all the miniature props for this series. Each of the scenes that involved his props were beautiful, and had grandness that's even hard to find today.

Created a year before Star Trek TOS, this is the British equivalent in its design, and production value.

The artistry still is or even more impressive today as they were done in the age without CG.

This still stands as one of the best science fiction drama created in Great Britain or anywhere else in the world.
