I love how there are no good guys, no bad guys, just people with good intentions fucking up or people with bad intentions rising above them. I think it's my favourite show now.
So fucking good. |

Kreese would probably be considered a legit bad guy, but you might even be right here. The series does a good job of illustrating how Kreese experienced some tough shit down in Vietnam and became conditioned into thinking that one needs to win at all costs and that showing mercy is to one's own peril.

The beginning of episode 3 with Johnny discovering the internet is absolutely hilarious.

It's great because Johnny is actually the 80s but in human form.

You were absolutely right about the acting standard in this by the way Dale. Hawk and Dmitry are fucking great right now. Dmitry was so annoying but I get it now, I was blown away by the way his story got rolling.
Hawk's back story is well played too, the smiling parent who doesn't have a clue... I love this. I really can't say it well enough. |

i saw a podcast where a guy complained about Hawk being one of the worst characters of season 2. I think he was just a mark that got worked by a good heel. Hawk was kind of an underdog antihero who discovered himself in season 1. Whereas, in season 2 while he's not without a couple of redeeming qualities, he's moreorless a prick. But he's good in the role and it makes perfect sense within his arc.

Hawk's one of the most realistic characters in the show, his story is common, not over done by any standard and played totally straight. The actor has chops man. He really has a great future ahead of him.
Dmitry is like every good friend I had at High School. We were all nerds. Christ I even love Sam a bit despite her naivety having worse results than a person that actually tries to cause trouble. Still, totally accurate as far as the people I grew up with were. |

Robbie looks like he could be yet another Franco brother. This kid is going to get some unbelievable poon in his lifetime.
Probably is right now. |

Sam is v cute. And I like Robbie as well... I feel really bad for him. But their acting chops are far inferior to the rest of the teens on the show.

Peyton List is poor too. Miguel has been written into a tiny spot in this season. I'd love to see how his screen time compares between the two seasons.
Paul Hauser was a great addition to the show. Fucker is a month younger than me but looks awful. Funny though! |

Hausser is a great addition. Very much indicative of the creators' style.

There is a certain kind of wonderment I feel watching Cobra Kai. The scenery is beautiful, the characters are lovable/engaging, and the storylines feel logical.

Peyton List totally screws the pooch on that "hard knock life" type speech.
That was doggerel and dreadful exposition already but damn, she sucked all the life right out of it. |

Not sure if I agree with this. I thought Peyton played the role fairly well. In the last episode where she says, "I'm coming for you bitch," came across as extremely believable for me. I don't have any issues with List's acting at all.

Yeah. She definitely has her struggles. She serves her purpose as Miguel's boner-fodder though.

Every five minutes I'm watching and I think "Nope, now I hate this person forever." Then another five minutes go by and I think "Ah thank God they did that, what a great thing to do."
It happens like clockwork and it's always with enough different people to keep it fresh. |

Music has been tits this season.
Two huge songs stand out as (surely) hugely expensive to license for a show this small. |

Johnny Lawrence is asking questions about modern life that I myself needed answers to.
It's a public service. |

Honestly, I think Ralph Macchio is great in the series and he is undeniably loveable. BUT William Zabka blows me away. I didn't think I could root for a character so much. It's kind of like if Bronn was the main character of Game of Thrones.
