Cobra Kai (The Karate Kid TV Sequel)

Casually, I just finished season 4 last night and I have to say, I'm loving it. I mean, I grew up watching the movies, but I have to applaud the showrunners for 1) taking this story and spinning it in a new direction, 2) knowing how to lean into nostalgia effectively while bringing back characters in a way that feels natural, and 3) knowing how to flip the script while making it feel earned and organic. I'm not saying the show is flawless or a masterpiece or whatnot, but I'm enjoying every minute of it.

I should also add, although most of the main cast has always been pretty solid, I was always a bit iffy on Tanner Buchanan, who I had also seen in Designated Survivor... but man, he really, really improved this season.

Amazing season 5, really one of the best series ever made tbh, they really upped the acting and the choreography of the fights to another level this season

Finally getting around to this final season. It started off a little rocky for the first couple of episodes, where it sort of seemed like they couldn't figure out what to do with some of the characters while the got all the pieces in play to head to the tournament. Alas, that didn't last long, as once things got going, the show once again became very engaging, compelling us into binge mode. While I agree that the case has been pretty strong across the board, Peyton List has consistently been the best of the bunch. Her character arc has been my favorite, and she delivered some heartbreaking scene with believable histrionics. All the kids have improved over time, but List has just been killing it.



Anyway, two more episodes to go and then back to a holding pattern until the final episodes are released.
