Spartacus Maximus Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 It was awesome! Binge watched the whole season! Johnny rocks!
JR 137 Posted April 27, 2019 Author Posted April 27, 2019 I’ve watched the first 5 (I think episodes). Pretty good. So far I like season 1 better, but I feel more compelled to immediately watch the next episode after each one ends than I did in season 1. Season 1 was far more back-story, whereas season 2 is more here-and-now (although there’s enough flashbacks).Interesting how the storylines are progressing so far.
Bulltahr Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Binge watched the whole of season 2. I think I'm with JR, season 1 was more interesting. But still really enjoyed the whole plot line of season 2. Stingray is a hoot. Favorite scene: "Johnnies dream with the beer".... "We don't have any money, so we will have to think" - Ernest Rutherford
JR 137 Posted April 28, 2019 Author Posted April 28, 2019 Just finished watching the series.I honestly don’t know why I liked season 1 better. Maybe less storylines and more depth to things that could’ve been developed further? Kinda a more on less thing?Daniel was going too far in the Cobra Kai direction of teaching fighting and not enough moral lessons. He seemed more intent on beating and outdoing Cobra Kai than actually teaching his own students. Maybe that took some of the magic away from the season? And his problems with his wife weren’t dealt with in much depth. There was no big coming to an understanding between them. Maybe a few more episodes would’ve been the answer? I think a little more drama and comedy and slightly less fighting would’ve worked better. The best parts of season 1 IMO were the crazy things Johnny said and did to the students. Like when Hawk before his transformation said “I might be on the spectrum” and Johnny replies “I don’t know what that is, but you need to get off it pronto.” There weren’t enough of those IMO. If any of you watch Orange Is The New Black, the last episode of Cobra Kai reminded me of the OITNB season that ended with the riot and the girl holding a guard at gunpoint. But I really liked it. Despite all that, I was more drawn to the next episodes that I was with season 1. Already waiting for season 3 and googling reports for it.
Bulltahr Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 Looks like season 3 will be free for all to view, they will have ads instead. Youtube Red being axed I think. "We don't have any money, so we will have to think" - Ernest Rutherford

Youtube Red being axed I think.YouTube Red no longer exists, in a sense. It has been renamed YouTube Premium. If subscription YouTube folds, no matter what it’s called, I’d be willing to bet the series gets sold to someone like Netflix. I’m pretty sure the series was pitched to several companies with some interest, but I don’t think they foresaw the viewership numbers it actually drew. I’m quite certain someone else would want it, and with a company like Netflix backing it, I’m sure the budget would be far bigger.

I wonder if they are trying to push YouTube Premium subscribers to YouTube TV? https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
sensei8 Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 Against my better wishes, I finally watched Season 1 and 2 on YouTube Premium; took me 2 days to watch. Better late than never, as they say.Let me say this, I thought I was going to be disappointed, however, I wasn't disappointed whatsoever. The story lines kept me on the edge of my seat, especially in how the dynamics of each character, and story lines, kept me on that emotional roller coaster.As in any great well written story line, I was tossed back and forth in cheering and booing equally through both seasons. You see the vulnerability that is inside of each and every character quite seamingless; that credit goes to the combined genius of Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald.I'm torn at deciding, and I'm a staunch fan of Games of Thrones, which finale was better...Game of Thrones Season 8 or Cobra Kai Season 2?!?!?I will be watching Cobra Kai Season 3, which has been delayed during this Covid-19 pandemic, this up and coming summer 2020. The tidbits in the Season 2 finale, have me excited for what lies to become a possible conclusion, of which I do hope that Cobra Kai lasts more than just 3 seasons. To see Ali return, with Ali saving Miguel, after all, Ale is currently a pediatric surgeon, and with the possible love triangle with her, Johnny, and Daniel; but will Elizabeth Shue reprise, is to be seen, after all, she's still an active actress. **Proof is on the floor!!!
