Cobra Kai
If you haven't seen it yet.. you need to.
It brings back a lot of the original Karate Kid.
Episodes 1 and 2 are on youtube. The rest are on Youtube Red.
If you are savvy enough you can find them elsewhere.
Can't wait for season 2 
He is correct!!! Finished the
Cobra Kai series also (only a 10 episode season), loved every minute of it!!
Everything good you heard is true, I can't believe it, they really made the concept work in bringing back Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence!
When the trailers were popping up a few months ago I had a lukewarm response. I thought it was cool the original actors were returning, but I didn't think it'd work as a TV series and I worried it'd be a disservice to the movie magic of the original, similar to the "sequelitis" effect with Karate Kid II/III, how they got progressively worse...
Anyway, it was all the positive reviews/vibes I was seeing on social media that led me to give it a try, glad I did!!!!
Best part, I think they used plot ideas from this funny Karate Kid parody video a few years back! Here it is:
So what the creator did is flip the script, portray Daniel as the real bully with selective editing, commentary, etc. It's hilarious! Even funnier there's a crazed troll that harasses the creator because he can't take the joke, he believes the creator is serious, and is angry that this somehow ruins the beloved memory of the movie, heh heh.
But yeah, in one of the episodes, Johnny is talking about how he was just trying to talk to his girlfriend, Daniel got in the way, "out of nowhere" sucker punches him so he did what anyone would do by defending himself! While he tells his "version" of events or "truth," footage from the original movie plays in the background so you're reminded of what really happened, hahaha! Fantastic!
I swear, they must've been influenced by the above parody video which went viral when it was released. That whole element plays out in the series where Daniel winds up being petty, vengeful, while Johnny is honestly trying to improve his life circumstances, etc.
Suffice to say, I loved it and I really think it has a chance to be picked up for several seasons!
