Cobra Kai Season 1
SCORE: 69
I heard different people talking about the Cobra Kai television show.
I played the video game. When I was shopping on Black Friday I ran
across a DVD compilation of Cobra Kai Season 1 and Cobra Kai Season 2
combined. I decided to check it out and to review the two seasons
separately. I have just finished Cobra Kai Season 1. This show connects
back to the Karate Kid and shows a different perspective on things.
The two main characters within Cobra Kai Season 1 are Johnny Lawrence
and Daniel LaRusso. Johnny Lawrence lost to Daniel LaRusso in the finals
thirty-four years ago. Daniel LaRusso runs a successful auto business.
Johnny Lawrence is not doing so well. He decides to open a dojo and
bring back Cobra Kai. There is still plenty of bad blood and unresolved
issues between Johnny and Daniel. They come up again and again in Cobra
Kai Season 1.
The issues families will have with Cobra Kai Season 1 is violence,
blood, deceit, lies, bad language, and more. The winner of the karate
tournament for under eighteen from the previous year is a real piece of
work. You will want him to lose. We get a new generation of karate stars
in Cobra Kai Season 1. Miguel is getting picked on at school and he
joins Cobra Kai. Robbi is the son of Johnny and he gets trained by
Daniel. The complexity of the relationships within Cobra Kai Season 1 is
deep.
There is some rocking music from the 80s within Cobra Kai Season 1. The
mentality of Cobra Kai is strike first, strike hard, and no mercy. It
does turn some of the picked on kids to closer to bullies. It makes me
think about how power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Near the end of Cobra Kai Season 1 Johnny is trying to change his ways
and the ways of his students.
Cobra Kai Season 1 is only ten episodes long. Most of the episodes of
Cobra Kai Season 1 are around half an hour. They really packed a lot of
powerful content into this show. There are also flashbacks to the Karate
Kid movie. I found Cobra Kai Season 1 interesting as there is no well
defined good guy or bad guy. I actually enjoyed cheering on Miguel in
the last episode of Cobra Kai Season 1. He was put through a lot. Plus
it makes perfect sense in a karate match to go after an opponents
weakness.
