    Default Cobra Kai TV Show

    For those of us who grew up in the 80s, Karate Kid was a cult legend movie and probably still is. Apparently, they are bringing back a TV show based on the old movie. Here's the trailer:



    It's going to star Ralph Macchio and William Zabka, bringing back their original roles as Daniel Larusso and Johnny Lawrence.

    Storyline:

    Set thirty years after the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament, the series focuses on Johnny Lawrence reopening the Cobra Kai dojo, which causes his rivalry with Daniel LaRusso to be reignited.

    I wont lie, it looks cheesy as hell, and I will probably watch it just the same. LOL!

    It’s going to be horrible but I will watch :-) I think a more compelling story line would haave been to have Daniel be the antagonist and open the Cobra Kai himself. But I digress...

    Sigh... I agree. I will be compelled to watch this and I will likely have to watch the entire season. I am hoping they minimize the damage to my brain which I know I will accept.

    Have any of you watched it? Just finished the 10 episode series last night.

    I was EXTREMELY impressed. Very cleverly written. What they did with Johnny's character was fantastic and entertaining.

    Far more impressed than I thought I would have been.

    I'm interested, but I don't plan to pay to see it (I'm drawing the line at Netflix and cable ). I heard it's great, though.

    It really was. I was intrigued but somewhat apprehensive like the others above but I have to admit... it was extremely well written. This is coming from a guy who grew up in that era. I can't speak for younger generations where this may be their first exposure to the Karate Kid Story.

    It was easy to see the story line unfold, but they included a few good twists to keep you guessing and the humor and tragedy around Johnny's character is totally worth it.

    Really interesting angle from the Cobra Kai point of view IMO.

    This series is really well done, so far. Zabka stole the show, as it was surprisingly easy to feel empathy for him, even though he's a bit of a jerk. lol

    (oh, btw, as much as I like this show, it will be disappointing if they don't bring Elizabeth Shue into it at some point).
    Could you see him as anything but a jerk? That's what makes his character for me.

    I've watched 5 of the 10 episodes and I really like what I've seen.

    Agreed. Johnny Lawrence is a jerk... but his rock bottom experiences nearly make you feel sorry for him / pull for him. Such turmoil!

    Plus Danielson is a bit of a controlling jerk, not wanting Cobra Kai dojo to make a comeback. Just love the way this series is going!
