Nah. RAW is just boring and not well written. But thunder was not only poorly written but had very low production values and glaring gaps in continuity that made the show unwatchable. Towards the end, it was produced as badly as a low level student film.
comparing modern day raw to thunder is like comparing a mediocre, but innocuous and ultimately forgettable action movie vs. an Ed Wood film without any of the wacky charm.
