LINK to Episode I

Overall, not too bad; certainly has some promise for a not-serious show about an 80's movie. LaRusso doesn't come across quite as awful in the first episode as he did in the trailers, so it'll be interesting to see where it goes from here. Not sure I'd subscribe to YouTube Red, but maybe when there is a free preview or the season is over I will subscribe and binge it.

I'm 10 mins into episode 1, and this is much better than I thought. Series of the summer.

And just as I suspected it would be, the cheese (and nostalgia) is off the charts! If you haven't watched this yet, do yourself a favor.

15 minutes in and the dialogue is great. "I don't do Karate anymore."

"Is there any particular way I should be doing this?"

"Nah I don't give a shite, just whatever's easiest."

This dialogue.

"Sensei I'm drowning!"

"Drowning is for pussies alright. Don't be a pussy. Use your legs."

"I should have asked if he knew how to swim..."

I would like to see a rematch where Johnny wins and steals his wife and sends Daniel packing back to NJ with his tail between his legs where he reunites with his old sweetheart Judy and opens a dojo/bonsai shop on the Jersey shore

I really like how Johnny takes on the role of what many of the movie fans think about the final fight in the Karate Kid.

Laruso definitely stepped up in the babe department. His wife is smokin.

This should be the outcome but I have a feeling Daniel will win again. So disappointing if I'm right.

It's surprisingly good. I'm not getting YouTube Red, but I'm sure it's streaming somewhere.

Dialogue is great right off the bat.

I love how they make Johnny live in Reseda now.

That was an awesome Rocky IV car montage remake.

All they needed was to play No Easy Way Out.

Damn, forgot how hot Ali was.

This show is 80's Nostalgia to the 10th degree.

Finally they bring up the fact that Daniel's Crane kick was illegal.

Karate guys have been saying for years that Daniel would have been disqualified in most Karate tournaments.

Thanks for the heads up.

11:30 in. Looks kinda promising but also warranting keeping expectations low.
