So far it's great. And Tori and Daniel's wife are still smoking hot.

Make time for Justified and The Shield. They are barely a rung below Breaking Bad IMO, and I'd say head and shoulders above Lost or TWD.

4 episodes down, some good laughs mixed in. Hard to believe Kreese is 75.

Yeah Tori is just smoking hot. And I want you all to know that when I say that, I assume they still cast 25 year-olds to play teens.

Just imdb'ed her and looks like she was born in 98' so you are in the clear.


Finished all of Season 4 in pretty much one sitting. Definitely enjoyed it more than 2 and 3. Ending was good.

Spoiler:
I'm not sure they needed to show that scene with Silver bribing the refs. He had already proved he was turning sort of ruthless and scummy again and they still could have ended with the Silver and Kreese scene setting up for the next season. It kind of shat on the accomplishments of Cobra Kai in that tournament and especially Tory's victory at the end there and it's not even like they showed any real questionable calls from the ref. Just seemed unnecessary to me.

The age of the actress doesn't matter one bit. Tory is a teenage high school student. Whether you are a pervert or not is fully dependent on the statutory rape laws in the great state of California.

the no point because Tory stepped out after being hit was very questionable

Pretty good, but it’s starting to get a little repetitive and the scenarios a little too ridiculous. Not a lot of character development, except Robby just went like pure bad guy almost the whole time.

The kids getting all jacked also kind of hurts it. Miguel looks like he could crush the rest of em now. Can’t really do anything about people getting older though.

They did a good job bringing back Silver. He didn’t do the super campy over the top evil guy act from the movie until the very end, which was nice and sets up the next season. Great touch putting in his theme music from the movie right at the end too. A little Mike Barnes tease?

Like a 6.5/10 imo. First season still the best by far.

Sick flying triangle attempt. All he had to do was extend his right leg over his left ankle and dude would have been out in no time. Completely against the rules but great attempt nonetheless.

I’m 3 eps deep and the Johnny and Daniel stuff is gold. The rest is not really working for me as much as it did. **** is just too damn much. Every interaction is over the top and it’s grating

The teen cast isnt the best in S1. They get better. And its pretty imperative for the best scene in S2.

This season was great, definitely better than seasons 2 and 3. I've been skeptical every season that they'll be able to keep it fresh and interesting but, so far so good, as every season has been worth watching, although some parts in seasons 2 and 3 dragged. This season's episodes flew by and were mostly a joy to watch, despite a lot of plot lines being predictable af. Silver ended up being a great addition and many of the other new characters also worked out nicely.

Silver's character was great in the forth season. The earlier episodes were great when he was explaining to Kreese how out of his mind he was during the parts of Karate Kid 3. It's was also funny when the kid's tried to google and find dirt on him and all they could find was something about a toxic waste dump in Borneo many years back.(a great call back to that hilarious scene)

Actually like how they went with almost all the characters in s4, by showing more redeeming qualities in some of the cobra kais responsible for the house invasion in season 3. Tory is actually somewhat believable and understandable now and Robby as well. The somewhat unexpected events that transpired with Hawk's character were great too. As also mentioned above the new kid characters were good additions as well and finally the choreographed karate scenes are world's better than they were in earlier seasons. The only character that looks like **** when they are doing karate in the scenes in actually Daniel imo.

I’m only 4 eps in on S4, but Robbie doesn’t seem to be mugging for the camera in every scene like he did in past seasons.

Ya, what you say there and also both Robbie and Tory have much more substance in this season. You get the reason behind their motivation unlike previous seasons where they sort of both just felt like vengeful ****s. I was actually sort of cheering for both of them in the end and even sort of Cobra Kai in general which once you get there I think you'll see it in that way as well.

I like the way this show isn't making it good vs evil etc but drawing flaws from both sides and season four really shines the light on that point. The middle seasons were a bit ridiculous with some of the insanity and detachment from reality but still fun just the same. It will be exciting to see where Kreese goes from here.

Enjoyed the season. And even the final episode set things up well for future seasons, they could probably even get away with more than 5.

Writers killed it. Even the karate choreography was very well done.

I liked S2-3 a lot better.

One of the show's great strengths is walking the lines between cringe and cheese, woke and anti-woke, genuineness and ridiculousness, slapstick and drama. I thought this season was the first time a lot of that missed. Which is fine, keep taking big swings.

It's still excellent at creating tension and muddling sympathies such that you're often on the edge of your seat without being sure what you're rooting for (or flipping on a dime).

Thomas Ian Griffith was underutilized; there were only 1-2 scenes where he really hammed it up (and they were great - this guy easily could have been Steven Seagal and I hope he has a renaissance. He's a very imposing presence with the ability to pump it to 11). Hopefully he does it more next season. If part of the reason for this is so many characters to juggle, you gotta prune some.

Daniel/Johnny was way too much rehashing - the season tread water from that standpoint. It should have been a tense buddy comedy throughout rather than breaking them up yet again and then in the finale putting them back where they were at the S3 finale. Their grudge started really wearing thin and hopefully that's been put permanently to rest.

Felt like S4-5 should have been one season that has been stretched out.

Don't listen to the others, prestige TV sucks. There's a good format for telling moving picture stories in 90 minutes rather than dragging them out to 13-75 hours, it's called "movies".

Also was a lot of time and narrative energy spent introducing some new characters who were quickly and unceremoniously dispatched with.
