      Tirdad Derakhshani Philadelphia Inquirer The sci-fi adventure show featured distinctive characters played by marionettes who interacted with the grooviest scale-model props... May 10, 2018 Full Review Wook Kim Entertainment Weekly A terrific '60s TV series with plotlines (usually a variation on spaceship-in-distress) all but guaranteed to send an 8-year-old's pulse racing. Rated: A- May 9, 2018 Full Review David Hiltbrand People Magazine The adventures of these futuristic flyboys are still wonderfully hokey looking and absolutely distinctive. Rated: B+ May 10, 2018 Full Review Stuart Hood The Spectator What the team which manipulates these puppets so brilliantly has succeeded in creating is a modern fairy-tale... May 10, 2018 Full Review Kyle Anderson Nerdist Thunderbirds represents Anderson and his team at their most popular and powerful... you're pretty much in for a treat. May 9, 2018 Full Review D.M. Edwards PopMatters Seeing the occasional wire merely adds to the charm and their dialogue is a welcome contrast to the tiresome, frenetic, wisecracking of so many modern computer-generated characters. Rated: 7/10 May 9, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
