I find Cobra Kai interesting because you're taking a bunch of imperfect people and adding in the complete incapacity of communication and seeing where that takes you.
Theres a lot of interesting elements there and, frankly, I think the writers milked this for all it was worth. I dont have a problem with that. They're exploring issues that many of us deal with on a daily basis.
I think the most difficult element to accept was that we have to understand that Johnny is growing up from a 16 year old boy to an adult before our eyes.
From 'The Karate Kid' up to this series it appears that he has experienced absolutely zero emotional or mental growth.
Thats tough to believe, but if thats the deal then fine. But we are shown that he has the ability and willingness to grow and learn.
