I'm sure there are going to be many people who dislike the use of animated characters with model sets. I was really excited to see how it would work out and I have to say, it works superbly! A lot of the Tracey Island model sets are very similar to the original 60s show. Even the animated 'Thunderbirds' are very similar in design. What's different is the use of futuristic computers such as holograms which does, on the most part, work fine.
The iteration of a female lead is great and the character of 'Kayo' fits in well with the other Tracy brothers. The sub-plot with John Tracy being 'abducted' by the Hood adds mystery to the story and drives the Tracy brothers on their missions... I expect we'll see John return sooner than later. Kayo also seems to have replaced the role of Tintin with her being related to the Hood. I think this is good change for I remember Tintin never did much in the original show. The fear of Grandma's cooking adds some comedic value for the younger audiences although I was not too amused by it my self!
However, all in all a fantastic reboot that puts the 2004 failure to shame! Also has a strong soundtrack composed by the very talented Ben & Nick Foster.
