Roland Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 If you were alive in the 80s and enjoyed The Karate Kid... Please watch Cobra Kai. It is pretty special with lots of footage of the original movie used as flashback moments. The black and white good vs evil of the original has been replaced by lots of gray area and there are so many easter eggs via the parallels they make to the source material. Plus there is fun karate. You can watch it on Youtube Red. First two episodes are free and the rest require Red but you can sign up and then immediately cancel and you'll stay subscribed for one month. Is it a bit cheesy? Yup. But quite enjoyable. I should also note that it is not as family friendly as the original movie but nobody who didn't grow up in the last millenium is going to care about it anyway...

BrianG Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I've actually heard good things about Cobra Kai. I've heard that it's kind of cheaply made, but the writing is very good. Is that true? I don't even want to watch the 2 free episodes before deciding to commit to the whole thing. I'll probably do it though lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Well it is a tv show vs a movie so the production quality is less. The two lead characters are played by the same actors from the original movies and they both do a great job. The kids all do an adequate job as well and the writing and music are spot on as a continuation of the original movie. All the episodes are free if you sign up for Youtube Red and then cancel it right away (so you don't forget). Even after cancelling you get the full billing cycle for free. The episodes are short and there are only 10 of them. They are great! Johnny Lawrence is a seriously flawed character and Cobra Kai is a seriously demented philosophy but instead of getting it solely from the perspective of the good guys you get it mostly from Johnny Lawrence's perspective which makes it so much more interesting and hilarious quite often.

Topher Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Westworld is a great show, first season seems a bit better, but so far season 2 is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ijsco Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Did anybody else hear that Kingdom uses the same sound sample as 7dtd for one of its zombie attacks? I was watching the 1st episode and was like: hey, I know this sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubo Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 The OA (2016, series) Prairie Johnson (Brit Marling), a missing blind girl, returns to the community she grew up in with her sight restored. Some hail her a miracle, others a dangerous mystery, but Prairie won’t talk about her seven missing years with the FBI or her parents. Best not to read anything more..

skullpoker Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 If you watch The Walking Dead, season 1-whenever they find the old Dr. and Rick says "We shouldn't have survived this long. We're so stupid." then have seen the entire progression of 7D2D from 16-17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odetta Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Of course they did.. /S ‘The OA’ Canceled By Netflix After Two Seasons Netflix is becoming the "Trash Bin" of streaming services. All the shows I used to watch on there either got cancelled or removed and replaced with absolutely horrible 1st party crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Too bad. I was very curious to see how they would proceed with the fourth wall completely obliterated. It probably got too weird for the execs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SylenThunder Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Which is really sad, because the show was original. It's was new. Not just some recycled script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
