I mentioned earlier, I wasn't able to endure KKIII...let alone KK4. So these characters will be new to me. Still think they are going to kill this thing. They should stop after next season.

After seeing this show listed on Netflix forever and a Day, and several rounds of thinking "maybe I should watch this"....wife and I finally started it last week. and ended up binging the entire thing.
absolutely love it. I have VERY low expectations going in, so maybe that helped. I liked how it doesn't really try to take itself too seriously; and I love how it seems to exist in this Valley / Karate universe / not based in reality. Just overall entertaining. Couldn't believe the number of original characters they rounded up / got them to agree to do it. Zabka is absolutely awesome. I was shocked at how well he pulled this off. as others have said, it does tend to feel a bit campy, but I reminded myself that I don't think their goal was to make some sort of serious series. The sound track is great too. Granted, the wife and I are huge KK fans (not so much after 1 or 2) so I think that helps / pulls on the nostalgia strings. So glad we decided to watch it. Zabka makes it worth it to me. |

Oh shit that's this week? I'm definitely in. I started this show this past summer and binge watched all 3 seasons in about a week.
It's a fun show. It's pretty dumb. You have people doing karate all over the place, but it's fun nonetheless. |

Yea it definitely jumps the rails at times. Like the battle royal in the school. But overall it’s really well made. Made with alot of love towards the original movies.

IMO, a lot of these series need to wrap up in 3 seasons, like a trilogy. This story...there is nothing too it anymore. They'll have hijinx and drama, but it's played out. That said...of course I'll watch season 4. But that might be it. I just can't see this thing being good for 6 seasons.

It was good, but when they did the Silver PTSD & Kreese's sudden conscience concerning Johnny's wellbeing was irritating.

At some point though, the stakes are gonna have to be raised to life and death to keep it interesting. I'm not sure how many seasons they plan on making, but I'd be fine with them wrapping it up in 5. |

It must be pretty easy to become efficient at Karate, the little skinny kid that was getting bullied, became a top contender in the tournament after, what I’m guessing, was only a couple weeks of training.
