a genuine classic, Thunderbirds is currently streaming in the US on Amazon Prime Video and fuboTV, and in the UK on ITVX Premium with a 8/10 audience score that speaks for itself. 32 episodes — the right length to tell the story it's telling.
Thunderbirds uses its genre premise as cover for asking bigger questions. Thunderbirds is a 1960s British science-fiction television series which was produced using a mixed method of marionette puppetry and scale-model special effects termed "Supermarionation". The series is set in the 21st century and follows the exploits of International Rescue, a secret organization formed to save people in mortal danger with the help of technologically advanced land, sea, air and space vehicles and equipment, launched from a hidden base on Tracy Island in the South Pacific Ocean. Christine Finn and Ray Barrett lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 2 seasons (1965–1966), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.
