Thunderbirds Are Go S01E01E02 HDTV x264-FiHTV

Remake of the hit 1960's television show. In the 21st century, Jeff Tracy, a former astronaut, amasses a colossal
fortune and decides that he must use it to benefit others. His answer to this desire is to create International Rescue, a
unique private emergency response service equipped with customized designed vehicles and equipment that enable
the organization to react to any crisis whether it be in sea, air, land, or space. Jeff's five sons volunteer to operate as
the pilots and field agents, as well "Brain" who acts as the teams engineer. In addition, Jeff's friend, Kyrano and his

Holy sheet! I actually enjoyed that soooo much! 🙂 I always wanted to be Virgil in TB2. A nice mix of CGI and

Apart from the name change for Tintin and making her essentially a special forces shadow it feels
like its just picking up mid original run rather than a complete remake.

Speaking of the HD era... How come there's no HD version of this anywhere out there in BT Land?
It was shot in 4K, so there should at least be a 720p version somewhere.
