So much of this show is cringey, but I have kept watching. The young actors are all pretty bad except for Peyton List.
I find Ralph Macchio and his acting unwatchable but still surprised at how Zabka is carrying the show. Johnny's character remains interesting, I hope he gets some grand victory at the end.
A 15 episode final season sure sounds like a lot of filler.
Just a reminder that the first 5 episodes of season 6, the last year dropped tonight.
Spoiler!
It was an interesting 5 episodes, where the first few episodes were almost boring, there was no real tension, Kreese is hiding in Korea with Cobra Kai. Johnny has embraced Miyagido. And he continues to show a newly won maturity as he waits for the arrival of his daughter.
But things started to fray around the edges. Daniel and Chosin find a box of Miyagi's secrets, and it turns out that the great man might have murdered a person during a petty robbery.
Kreese finally is able to cast off the last of his humanity, as he learns one last lesson from his old Sensai, and figures out that it wasn't Silver that was his weakness, but Johnny.
Meanwhile Daniel and Johnny's relationship starts to fall apart. And tragically Tory's mother dies sending her in a tail spin, and the prediction that Kreese gave to Tory in her mind becomes true.
So as we walk into the final Sekai Takai tournament, we know that Johnny and Daniel's relationship is damaged. Kreese has stepped back into the limelight, and Tory, has joined a team of absolutely ruthless murder bots.
Overall a really good start to the last year.

Watched the first 3 episodes, and I'm still enjoying it. Although it's definitely starting to feel a little long in the tooth, so I'm glad this is the final season.
Overall this show has been such an entertaining guilty pleasure over the last few years, so hopefully they'll go out with a bang.
Spoiler!
Johnny hosting "Miyagi-Do After Dark" was hilarious. William Zabka continues to kill it in every scene he's in.

So . . . which of our hero's is getting their neck snapped in the ring? You know they're setting it up for that.
I expect Tory is going to murder Sam in their fight on national TV. We're going to get the thunderous neck snap and the twitching Sam Body, and Daniel completely going mental case.
There is literally no way, that something extremely bad isn't going to happen.

It's pretty zany and bordering on even too much for the series, but it's staying true to the formula. But you are really seeing that these kids are no longer kids. I did like that they a few of them are now in college (Skyler) and work with the aging a bit.
