The season is great and adds some great nostalgia and unknown history, while advancing good current storylines w the adults and the kids. The show is just so well done
It’s still the best thing out there, but I do think it’s behind the first two in terms of story.
This season had a few really good episodes, but 40-50 percent of it felt repetitive and a bit of filler where they were batting like 80-90 percent in S1 and 2.
It almost felt like season 2 and 3 could have been combined into like a 15-16 ep season to make it tighter because this finale is where we all knew we needed to get to once Kreese showed up.
And as great as the S2 finale was, it kind of stalled the beginning of this season out with Miguel’s rehab story. Having a serious injury like that in a huge school brawl was always going to break this out of the simple rivalry story that made it so great and thrust it into the real world, where there are real consequences.
And that made some of this feel forced and not as organic to the heart of the story imo.
It’s always been Daniel and Johnny, and their relationship didn’t change at all this season until the finale, which was outstanding.
The buddy cop stuff early on was fun, but ultimately amounted to nothing. Just like the rehab stuff for Miguel and juvi for Robby. Even Hawk just kept circling the same Demitri angle until the end, which again was awesome. But it just didn’t need to be rehashed again and again.
Also, while the Kreese backstory was really well done, I’m not sure it’s really relevant to this story. Kreese is who he is. He’s done evolving, and it doesn’t really matter why he is the way he is like it does for Johnny because there is still hope for Johnny. It’s his story.
Kreese is almost more worthy of a spin-off rather than something that needed to be squeezed in here. It just seemed like a lot of time taken away from the main story.
But the Okinawa storyline and those characters were great (and they worked it into the story very well too). And the Ali episode was outstanding. So well done and worth the payoff. Elizabeth Shue is a damn fine wine
Also, I actually think they salvaged Tory’s character a bit and made her more interesting. I like that her and Robby are now allies and Sam and Miguel have reunited. That seems more the way it’s supposed to be. The meeting between Daniel and Miguel was great and long overdue
Reintroducing Kyler was also a great move and sets up for a great S4 now that it’s all coming to a head.
Enter Terry Silver
Just wanted to hear them say “Welcome to Miyagi-Kai Karate”. It’s coming
ETA: Really thought we’d see Dutch in the yard when they went to prison

I’m sure Netflix is thinking long term
Since they took it over
Probably want at least 6 seasons of this

This is why it's relevant

This shite was gold. I could do a whole season of this. Hell, a whole series of Johnny and Daniel as duo Karate PI’s or detectives. Their dynamic is just too natural and fun, especially with Mrs. Larusso chiming in to highlight just how dumb it all is.

loved the 'more is less' natural look. she may have had some work done but IMO this is how a woman is supposed to age. not get fake duck lips and plastic surgery until your face looks ridiculous. kudos to her if she bucked the trend.
she could have put on more makeup and been even hotter but i think the look she had was more in line with her character being a doctor. hell she wasn't even wearing fingernail polish.
her appearance on the show was damn near flawless.
