Just out of curiosity, how good this particular tv series is?

Back in the classics (Series 1-4), they were great. Series 5-7 were good. Then, HiT acquired the TV rights, starting in Series 8; and it went to crap. During that time, HiT changed the development of the railway from modelling (series 1-11) to CGI (series 13 onward).

Then HiT gave the writing for Thomas a complete overhaul, hiring veteran Thomas writers and other good writers like Davey Moore. Series 17 debuted this new cast, and it's easily the best Thomas series in years. (They also went with a new CGI animation company, from Nitrogen to Arc, who's done just fine.) Plus, there's a Railway Consultant to make the railway predicaments as realistic as possible.

Recommended series: 1-4, 5-7, 17.
