    I'm not typically into martial arts movies but I just like those movies lol and the series is comical.. I think people who grew up watching those (80s, 90s kids) can get some entertainment from it.. and the guy who plays Johnny still has it goin on lol

    No. I'm not opposed to Karate Kid though. And I saw the last "Ip Man" movie which I thought was really cool.

    I like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles though... the first one, not this other stuff.

    I hadn't been a fan of the karate kid movies, but watched cobra kai with my spouse and loved it. So much so, that we watched the movies again and I thoroughly enjoyed the movies the 2nd time through.

    Yes, I've been watching & love it! It's better than a lot of other TV that's airing. I even bought the 1st 2 seasons on DVD. I haven't seen season 3 yet since I don't have Netflix right now, but as soon as it comes out on DVD, I'll go ahead & buy it anyway. If anyone knows who's selling season 3 on DVD, I'll get it!

    This is just so good. I liked everything about it. When season 3 came out I binged all episodes in a row that same day.

    They did this show just right.. playing to the younger and older generations, all of which can have fun with it and appreciate it.. I love the Mr. Mayagi tributes throughout too.. he is one of my favorite characters of all time, I just love him.. wish he was still alive to be able to help Daniel not be so lost in his decision making

    I’ve watched it with my 14 year old son after I ironically got HIM into the OG karate kid movies!! I was 13 when the first one came out and just loved them. I thought I would hate it but actually love this show and got so into it lol. I like how they’ve delved more into Johnny’s character and he isn’t the bad guy he was made out to be in the movies. Can’t wait for the next season.

    Lived in a bungalow up on stilts (because of the monsoon) in Kerala - Southern India for 7 months. Snakes used to crawl under the bungalow and hide in the leaves and rubbish under there, however in the monsoon they used to climb the house supports up into the rafters (there was no ceiling). From time to time they would move from one rafter to another and occasionally they would miss, there would be a loud 'plop' as they dropped to the floor and then they would rear up, raise their hood and 'hiss'. The Mongoose and the Tiger cub (yes, I had a Tiger cub - but that's another story) would race one another to get there first and kill and eat the Cobra.

    Wow! That just made my hair stand on end at the throught of cobras getting up into the house and hissing..:eek::eek::eek:
    Thank goodness you had a tiger cub and a mongoose to protect you! Sounds like something out of that book ‘Tiki Tiki Tavi’, I think it’s called. :D

    Yes darlin' you're right, but I was able to embellish it to my class mates when the school chose that as a 'class reader' several years later.
