I had a friend who was obsessed with these guys. I was more of a Scarlet man myself. We fought for supremacy on the playground, and to this day I refuse to tell his parents where he's buried.

Yeah I used to love Thunderbirds, but also Stingray & Captain Scarlet. The Mysterons were very scary to 7 year old me!

Aw man I wanted to be the one to bring up Stingray

They scared the shit out of me as 12 year old. I remember sometimes opening my eyes at night and peering around into the fuzzy blackness, in fear of seeing those two circles creeping towards me

Yup, Captain Scarlet for me too. Thanks to the theme tune, I recall being obsessed by the word 'Indestructible' for some time. I had no clear idea what it meant, but used it heavily anyway.

Have you got a VPN? Could switch to a UK server and watch it that way.

Wow I didn't realize the extent to which Team America World Police took all the sets and characters from this. It's like - everything is a direct modern version of it, but with a different script obvs.
