21 Thunder

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.

I gave this two episodes before giving up. This is supposed to be about a U-21 team in the MLS.

First of all: barely anyone of the players look like they're 21. A fair lot of them look almost 30. It can't be that hard to find some actors to fit the bill especially since some of them are overacting as if their life depended on it. To add to that the over-the-top situations half of them find themselves after just two episodes may fit a soap opera, they shouldn't be in here.

Second: if you're going to make a series about football/soccer at least get some people in there that can actually play. The training sequences are horrible, players can barely control a ball, let alone pass it. Same for the matches: what's this obsession with overhead kicks? It's like making a series about basketball where every other game is decided on a full court shot.

If you're watching this on Netflix, chances are Club de Cuervos is on there as well. Which is much much better.

I found this show randomly on Netflix. Watched the trailer and I had to start it. From the first episode I was hooked and I finished it in a day. I loved it! I am a huge football/soccer fan and all of the actors are gorgeous and entertaining to watch. I love the characters and the story lines. Of course there are things that aren't realistic but that's television. Overall, I loved finding a show like this and I need more! I can't wait for season 2!

"21 Thunder" is basically a remake of "Inside Edge," (which centers its storyline around Cricket, rather than Soccer). Actually, both series are listed as coming out in 2017, so I'm not sure which was first. But suffice it to say- Inside Edge is a far better version... much tighter script as well as better casting. 21 Thunder is probably not as bad as many of the review it will receive- but does seem a bit amateurish compared to Inside Edge (which has a more sophisticated development of the business side of team ownership & price fixing operations). 21 Thunder also has some casting issues that weaken the series & also result in a lack of chemistry among the characters imo. (by comparison.. I thought Inside did a good job re casting, chemistry, etc.) If you watch both series I think it will be clear how much of a difference... the solid casting & a tighter script.. made in Inside Edge (Amazon series).

I do not know that why i watched the full season 1. May be just because of football. But truly speaking, this is one of the worst football related TV shows. Unnecessary sex scene, no mystery, no good plot with football, nothing. Cast are so below average. Average editing and below average direction ! ! There are lots of good sports related TV shows and movies but this one will give you pain in your mind !
