So I binge watched all 10 episodes, I really, really liked it. Couple observations I had that I wanted to share in spoiler content...........
I really enjoyed this, I couldn't stop watching, great story, great writing, some real funny moments, well done. I so hope they do another season.
1. I think Ralph and William did a great job, acting was solid, sans a few minor scenes. They played well off each other.
2. The fight choreography, especially in the final tournament, could have been a little tighter. It didn't feel as fluid as it could have been, needed to come off as slightly less choreographed. (This is also one of the many issues I had with the Iron Fist).
3. Love, love that they didn't turn Daniel into something he wasn't (although he started to stumble), they didn't ruin what he stood for under Myagi. Quite frankly, I was worried they would do that and felt it would be unnecessary. So glad they didn't go that route, it would have been too easy.
3. On the converse, they also didn't turn Johnny into Mr. Nice guy, although he did learn a lesson and looks to have questioned his actions.
4. I loved the comedy with Johnny's role, his ignorance with the "current times" was great.
5. I knew Cobra Kai was going to win, but I love how it was a bittersweet ending. Johnny finally got what he wanted, but at a cost.
6. I posed the question a few pages back whether or not Martin Kove would make a cameo. Sooooo glad they did that, the ending was great. Totally want a second season now where Johnny and Daniel team up. I actually think they'll make better friends, like an odd couple, than enemies.
7. Some really great nostalgia, and I loved the back story with Johnny's step-dad.
8. Loved that they brought back Randee Heller as Daniel's mom!
9. Although I kinda wanted to see a fight scene between Daniel and Johnny, I'm OK there wasn't one, although they were close.
10. I liked that Daniel trained Johnny's son, that was unexpected. The conflict Johnny felt during the tournament was great.
11. I also liked Migeul's transition, he didn't start off like an a-hole.
