Thomas The Tank Engine Review Seasons 1-21

Important information before we start

Hey guys, it's Hazzthesazz here. 2020 was the year I finished and uploaded my first story to Wattpad "the one that saved me", that story was a Creepypasta story and now looking back at that story, I wasn't too happy with the results and realizing that writing stories from scratch wasn't what I wanted to do as a writer. So, I have decided to write a review- what is the review you may ask- it's the show that has gone off the rails, (off the rails get it) ... okay it's a review about Thomas the tank engine and friends. Since the show has turned into our worst nightmares thanks to Mattel, I thought it was time for me to make a review about the show that has changed generations and made people have a fanbase about this wonderful franchise, but there are a few rules/clarifications I'm going to go over first

I'm only going to be talking about the UK dubs for 2 reasons- 1- I haven't heard enough of the US dubs to give a fair judgement on them (might make a ranking list of all of the narrators in the future) but for now I am sticking to the UK dubs. And 2- I grew up with the UK dubs, so it's easier to judge the episodes.

I don't know too much about the railway series in terms of story/lore (because you can't find a website to read them for free) however I will try my very best to explain each episode to the best of my ability, meaning I will be talking about each episode and what happens in that episode and give my opinion. So, there will be very little mention of the railway series unless needed. I will warn all of you now, take your time reading this review because it is going to be very long.

I will only be ranking/reviewing seasons 1-21 (and jack and the pack series). Giving them a number through 1-10, 1 being unwatchable while 10 being the best episode. Seasons 22-24 plus the reboot are not Thomas to me. So, I will review them in a different book/story- separate to this Thomas the tank engine series

This and I will repeat is my opinion- you have the right to disagree with me on something but please don't be an asshole about it. After all- this is my review of Thomas and it's my first review on something.

I won't mention any Thomas movies unless they tie to the Thomas series as a whole (example- Thomas and the magic railroad has nothing cannon to the series so I don't have to bring up that movie to talk about). (Might make a review about all of the Thomas movies in the future) (again the movies are blocked in my country)

This review, like my first story I wrote takes time to make/edit and finish. So, I'm asking you all to please be patience and wait. After all anything can happen to me

This story will be PG-13 for occasional swearing and complex/mature tones not suitable for kids. This is so that I can express myself when making my points

I should warn people why am I writing the episodes in this review, some episodes are blocked in different countries thanks to Mattel. So, I'm writing the episodes incase you guys can't access the episodes yourself. So please don't assume and crack the shits about it. (You can find transcripts of the episodes online if you want to read the episodes word by word) I will be using these transcripts to tell you the stories. So, I'm just changing it so it suits the UK dub. That should cover that problem or just try to find the episodes online.

Lastly- anything that I use- audio/videos/quotes, etc.- belong to their rightful owners. It is fair use. All Thomas the tank engine episodes/media belong to Mattel. Wanting any more information – please go to Thomas the Tank Engine Wikia | Fandom for more information about anything that is brought up in this review. Some things are from the Thomas wiki

Special thanks to PikachuFreak for the transcripts and Special thanks to the Thomas wiki for the episode recap/info.

Without further ado, please enjoy the review
