OK, it says he made it to 3 of the season 2 episodes.. I was kinda numb to his presence by then. Edited September 8, 20205 yr by RDCanecutter went and got my learn on.

Daniel asked him to join his dojo and he was like naw I'm good. Then I'm pretty sure I saw him eating breakfast or food at some point.

Smarmy dad, glaring high-strung mom, fat slow daughter, and why the hell hasn't the son been tossed into a pool with all his devices, THAT's the dude who needs some bullying in this bully genre. Not particularly interested in seeing Ali come back, she'd be more of the LaRusso-style blah. If Johnnie can't get it going with Carmen, I wish he'd go for slump-buster action with pot-smoking pregnancy-joke-making understanding-the-violence-of-men Yaya. Then there could be a scene where she cuts a new girlfriend and torches his car herself. The mom is pretty hot though. I agree that it's hard to suspend belief with respect to the chubby daughter being able to do anything athletically. Overall, this show is some good, dumb fun. Looking forward to season three.
September 10, 20205 yr I like this show, but is Robby capable of making any facial expressions other than the one you make after you find out your dog got ran over?

September 10, 20205 yr His haircut makes Robby look more like a chick than most of the female characters
September 11, 20205 yr "And change that ring tone. Get some Guns N' Roses or something." "[What's Guns N' Roses?" "I'm going to pretend you didn't say that." “I like muscle cars, martial arts, and Iron Eagle ... and Iron Eagle II.” The whole family loved the series. Just the right amount of nostalgia and cheese. Yeah the karate stuff is super dorky, but I'm just glad we can watch without a character going on a soliloquy about "cultural appropriation," and nice to have some anti-snowflake tv. I'm optimistic Shue shows up for season three. Hopefully they got a greenlight before the callout. I hope next season is more Johnny and less Robbie - that kid sucks. Not to get to serious, but I enjoyed seeing Johnny's perspective on high school Daniel and pulling the curtain back on his teen years: good lesson in Daniel's Karate Kid POV and Johnny's Cobra Kai POV ... and the seen with Johnny's crew was fantastic - if that didn't make you dusty and you don't like the series, you need a heart.

September 12, 20205 yr Have to give props to shows producers, whoever, for not just going all in on the cheese, but taking it to 11. I swear when I started this show there was no way I was going to make it past one or two eps, almost finished. The dorkiness of it all, the bad acting, the predictable storyline, its so good.
September 12, 20205 yr They got me in the last episode of season 1 when I groaned, sure that Daniel was going to pull that mysterious Myagi healing thing on Robbie. He put his hands together just like Myagi, then called for a medic. Terrific
September 12, 20205 yr Speaking of the finale of season 1... I've never done karate but basic physics tells me that a double kick from a one armed handstand would have no power. It's like the writers said hey we need a new unattainable, never been done crane kick for this generation.
September 13, 20205 yr I took the series for what it is and enjoyed it. My biggest question: Why haven’t we heard this yet?????
September 13, 20205 yr I hope Dutch comes back in season 3. He was my favorite and the first thing i want him to say is "You're dead meat... DEAD Meat"..

September 13, 20205 yr Just finished season 2 and while it was definitely worse than 1, I'll still watch 3 when it comes out.

Finished Season 2, was generally satisfied, the last episode was so stupid, and silly, and over the top, but it was also kinda badass. They're teenagers, they're not gonna be martial arts experts, but damn they had these kids throwing each other around like it was bloodsport. Overall, season 2 definitely felt weird, I looked up if they changed writers but apparently not. There was too many moments where it felt like a Netflix sitcom reboot, like Fuller House. After school special life lessons until they finally sprinkle in some Johnny humor or 80s nostalgia (the good shit).

September 18, 20205 yr Just started this show yesterday and got through 2 episodes. Liking it so far. Told the wife that it looks like Barney Stinson was right about who the real Karate Kid was in the movie.

September 21, 20205 yr Gone through about 1.5 seasons in the last week or two. Generally enjoying the portrayals of 40 year old Lawrence and larussa. The character building of Johnny in particular. and i actually thought John kreese was the name of the actor, not the character, that’s how much he is “that guy” for me. So I had to unlearn that.

September 26, 20205 yr Wife and I finished season 2 last night. I'll echo what others have said, it's written for gen x. As long as the focus remains on Johnny's character we will keep watching. Thought the jokes were even better in season 2 but so was the cheese factor. All of the fight scenes were so bad they were good. Every character arc but Johnny's and Miguel's are terrible or terribly written but my wife and I dont really care. We like the show for what it is.
September 26, 20205 yr I'd love to see Johnny in a Die Hard situation where he saves the town from terrorists with karate and his bitching trans am.

September 26, 20205 yr Season 1 is amazing and season 2 is amazing. That is fact. I was born in 77. I love this show.

Side note- We watched the original with our twin 10 year old boys over the weekend and they loved it. Seeing them realize that Daniel had been training the whole time and not just being Miyagi's slave was awesome. And they both had huge grins on their faces at the end when Daniel takes the title.

Smiled reading this. My dad made it a point to show me the movie when I was a kid (I’m a millennial snowflake) and I had the exact same reaction watching that scene.
September 29, 20205 yr The mall and school fights were too over the top. Wrong settings for massive, long fights. Didn’t ruin it for me though.
September 29, 20205 yr Totally tinfoil hat, but a fun conspiracy video about a possible SEASON 3 SPOILER: Spoiler
September 29, 20205 yr Just started season 2 last night. Show is outstanding. We were thinking last night how the fuck did someone pitch this to a network. It had to be awesome.
