I'm really enjoying this so far. (About 6 episodes in)

I came in with low expectations and have been pleasantly surprised so far, just finished episode 4.

Blitzed the lot in 2 days.
Loved it. So many references to the films (watched KK 1 & 2 last night).
Great soundtrack. Nice to see the old cast again, glad they didn't replace anyone.

I`m on episode 3 still not sure whether this is being played for laughs or if its meant to be serious. Its like it cant decide what it is or who is good and who is bad. Role reversal of main characters?
Enjoying it shall watch on and see.

I think your expectations might be skewing your view of it. do keep watching, it's brilliant
Soldato
It's a bit of both. Just carry on enjoying it

6 or 7 episodes in, and I agree it’s a bit cheesy and role reversal on the good and bad.
Well it is called Cobra Kai and NOT The Karate Kid should tell you enough honestly
Soldato
Not if you have never seen the Karate Kid ! 
From the title I was expecting it to be a series about what happened to the character after the end of the film, which it is just a few years on. I wasnt expecting Daniel LaRusso to be in it. Having not read anything about the series beforehand.
The bit that got me a tad confused was he saved the kid from a beating but then started to train him the Cobra Kai way which was a bit conflicting with the values. Saves a kid on one hand but then teaches show no mercy beat the crap out of the opposition. Thats what the older guys were doing showing no mercy.
Just personally it seems a little confused in its direction but then again I`m only ep3 in.

Don't overthink it, just let it play out.

Absolutely loads of people on my Timeline watching this where we in here watched series 2 back in May 2019.
Why?
Why?
Soldato
Have you not asked one of them?
It's because it was released on netflix recently. Youtube didnt do a good enough job of telling people when the series went free to watch, obviously

Yes and it's because it came up on Netflix but I don't understand why all these people didn't watch it back when it came out because Netflix would have advertised it then!

Thanks
I remember reading that the song was actually written for Rocky, but they ended up using it for this. Fun fact
It complimented perfectly as Daniel progressed in the tournament in KK1.
