Just finished watching this and was surprised by how much I liked it.
There is a little Johnny Lawrence in all of us.
Plus some nice throw backs to the original karate kid.
Looking forward to season 2.

Lots of Role reversal or shoe is on the other foot with family dysfunction mixed in.
One kid turns from the dark side and another turns to it.

Has anyone seen this yet?

Good show. A little predictable as the story goes on but it is enjoyable.

I've acquired the episodes, but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I just finished Barry last week and was going to start Cobra Kai afterward, just haven't yet.

eh a few times they had me thinking people change then...nope.

Makes me want to fire up the original karate kid.
I also think it's hilarious they have the actors now and can use original movie footage from the 80's of them for flash backs instead of getting young actors and filming it.

also interesting to see modern day's character's perspective of how things went down back in the day.

At first I thought "OMG, this writing is horrible, the characters are super shallow, and the choreography is worse than an 80's B movie."  But like a horrible train wreck, I couldn't stop watching.  I loved it for the cheesy story, the horribly shallow characters, and how they flirt with greatness but fall just short of the mark.  Every time you think it is going to get better, it makes a 180 and gets so bad, it's good.  By the end, I was craving another season, and I really hope they make it.
