Cobra Kai Season 2

I ordered YouTube Premium in April for the purpose of watching the second season of Cobra Kai. Here is  my review of Season 1.

Ironically, in Season 2, the writers and producers addressed and corrected my only nitpick from Season 1. Evidently, the competitors sent to the tournament simply competed in the black belt division and wore the black belts just to compete. 

On a similar note - through both seasons, the focus of the martial arts portrayed is not on the belts, but on the training and the journey.  And that journey never ends. This is a good thing.  This is how it should be in dojos everywhere. 

Now some reviews have suggested that Season 2 was good, but not as good as Season 1. I think it was better.  Cobra Kai is more entertaining, more detailed, and more nuanced than anything else on TV now.  Johnny Lawrence is the most compelling character to cross the screen (big screen or small screen) in decades. 

The theme I enjoy the most is the recurring "Generation X is there to pick up the pieces from Millennials and show Generation Z a better way of life."
