Oso planning to go pro
Almost through the 2nd season of Money Heist. It's improbable but I love capers like these.
Watched season 1 of Swagger on Apple+.A lot of the basketball scenes were ridiculous, but I generally enjoyed the story and the acting. I thought a lot of the young actors were very talented.And as a bonus ...Felicia Pearson, who famously played the infamous Snoop on The Wire, was in a few scenes as a rival coach. I could even mostly understand her this time!
Speaks so well. Racist.
Thou dost protest too much.
Just finished Lost in Space (Netflix) .. wow, that was awesome.It's the most captivating series I've watched in years.
Your man card is revoked.
Much, much better than the original series.
So new season of Cobra Kai comes out tomorrow.Anyone else besides me excited?
4 episodes in and I'm enjoying it a lot. Liking a couple characters new/old putting a more realistic view onto this season.
Killed it off in three nights (3/4/3). Another excellent season and a great set-up for season five. Some excellent character development for Johnny, Tory, Sam and Robby too. Even Creese is moving forward as a person. Hopefully, it isn't a year wait this time. The new female member of Eagle Fang, Devon, is a good character. Also the daughter of Radiohead's guitarist. I loved Johnny's response when she joined “The only pronouns we accept in this dojo is sensei and student" and her response" "those are nouns." LOL.Yellowstone is next.
So, is Cobra Kai more drama or comedy? Is it self-deprecating? Like most, I'm very familiar with Karate Kid ... do they make a lot of references or is that pretty much ancient history? I've heard a lot of good stuff about Cobra Kai and am trying to talk myself into starting to watch it even though I'm obviously way behind.
I wouldn't say it's a traditional comedy, but does have quite a lot of funny moments. I also wouldn't classify it as a drama, there's not many going to make you cry moments. It's got action, comedy, drama, adventure etc. It's got the whole teenagers being teenagers and plays parts of the series like you would normally expect to see in something built for that age group. But it's also a lot more adult moments then karate kid.For part 2 of your question, they definitely bring up plots, moments, themes, and characters from the karate kid movies, but they don't rely on them heavily and the show in itself is it's own story. Definitely do not need to see or rewatch the movies before you see the series.
Should the original Karate Kid movies be rewatched before watching Cobra Kai? It's been 30 years............
