This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first Season was incredible. Banging synthwave soundtrack, plenty of montages and central characters you liked and could really get behind. The tournament they were working up to and Miguel's fight with Tyler and his goons provided plenty of mileage, but after they've been defeated the second season completely loses it's way. All the characters you loved start to act like idiots and make decisions contrary to why you loved them. For example Robby starts training his kids to be violent and allows his old sensei back, which is so unbelievable. Miguel overnight becomes an aggressive, nasty piece of work. So does Hawk. Ok, we can get behind Hawk becoming a bit of an anti-hero, but to make him one sided and now a complete bully, ruined his character and made you feel frustrated you ever liked him. Same as Miguel. I could deal with the cobra kai members struggling with issues of aggression, but why turn them into baddies? Mr Larusso starts off kind of cool. He's flawed but he's still a good man and you get a feeling that Miyagi's teachings have really shaped him. But during the second season he starts behaving in a really petty way and is almost encouraging his kids to get involved in skirmishes. He acts distraught when his daughter gets drunk and stays the night at Robbies, but he has no problems getting her involved in his dojo feud and leaving her vulnerable to getting badly scarred and almost killed. Sam also becomes very irritating, just messing with boys heads and not being able to make her mind up. She indirectly causes Miguel's coma if you think about it. It all starts to feel like a high school teen drama instead of a bada!* martial arts show. The dialogue also becomes very hammy and it feels like you're watching The Room. They needed a compelling enemy for the second Season. Without one the show just meanders around not knowing what to do with itself.… Expand
