I have seen a few episodes of Corba Kai, the YouTube Premium series that shows where Johnny Lawrence and Daniel LaRusso ended up after the Karate Kid film series. It is actually good, I had doubts.
The series picks up with Johnny Lawrence still in the LA area but things are not going well for him. He has a crappy job, he lives in a run down apparent complex and his former rival (Daniel LaRusso) owns at least four car dealerships and has commercials. One day, Johnny helps a teenager who is jumped by a group of other teenagers and this inspires Johnny to open a karate dojo.
William Zabka is good as Johnny. He is relatable as a guy past his prime or a guy who has seen better days. Cobra Kai for him represents something great. I like the story even if the coincidences at the start are a bit much but it is a story, some of that is excusable.
