21 Thunder

The absolutely worst sports related tv ever. This series, supposedly about a professional men's soccer Team, is nothing more than a soap opera with stupid, wimpy, shallow male characters that can only function with female leaders. The series is a feminist agenda driven load of nothing as the head coach, the club owner, the team physical therapist, locker room attendant, and lead police detective are all females with bigger kahunas than any of the men. This series should be in science fiction rather than sports,,,, The worst ever, I give it a -10.

I love 21 Thunder because I can watch it without caring about the sport of soccer, or understanding the rules of the game. Like many reviews have said, the best parts of this show are off the field and that's where the heart of the drama works. Sometimes the direction feels a bit lazy and some scenes feel rushed, but these issues never truly take away from the core essence of the show. The thrills keep coming. I think the series needs another season to continue to develop it's potential. Emmanuel Kabongo and Stephanie Bennett are stand outs for their authentic portrayals of anxiety and confidence as both blossoming and ex-soccer stars. Conrad Pla is also superb, especially in his Spanish-speaking scenes, as the sketchy coach of the 21 under team. You can binge all episodes on the CBC website if you're in Canada. Enjoy! 8/10!

Overall, an entertaining series. Not big into football but I love the location in Montreal. The football action scenes are exciting to watch despite my lack of football expertise. The off field storylines are decent enough to keep me intrigued. The characters are all athletes so they all have to have similar traits when it comes to their competitive demeanor. All of the female roles are slightly unbelievable (team owner, coach, team physician). But at least they're all attractive.

Spoken from a non-football fan, I am now more interested in the sport & I would continue watching this series.

Very bad and I love football. Maybe they should let the English redo the whole damn thing. I could not watch another episode beyond the first.

Bad Writing and bad acting. How anyone rates this more than 1 is beyond me. Watch it if you are very young and.... on second thought just do not watch it at any age. It has no redeeming points. The show has been contrived to take advantage of football lovers. It fails on all points.

Pilot episode definitely kept my interest, especially after the first 10 minutes of character introductions. Suspenseful, good possibility for upcoming story lines, good looking cast, and good writing. Hometown bias because the show's filmed in Montreal, and doesn't shy away from that fact--a lot of American shows use Montreal to film in, but pretend they're set elsewhere.Definitely will watch next episode. Television pilots are almost never this good.
