This might be a bit moot given that Season 2 was greenlit, but screw it. Let's see how they sell this long-delayed follow-up to the classic Film Trilogy...
The Show begins properly with the end of the 1st Film. Thanks for not assuming that everyone in 2018 knew how it all went down.
In 2018, Johnny is not doing great. He's a divorced Dad and he isn't exactly a millionaire.
When fate keeps nudging him to help, will he finally stand up and make something new with his life?
Will he be able to face up to his past- literally in this case?
Will he get the final push he needs by seeing his previous nemesis succeed where he failed?

All things considered, it's quite good. The whole idea of this sounded to strange to be true! A Sequel Show- for YouTube, no less- to The Karate Kid. After- let's be honest- diminishing returns with each Film, would yet another follow-up be good? Well, surprisingly, yes. What they do right is truly humanize every Character to make you care. Johnny is no doubt the hardest one to do- since he was such a dick in the Film- so they started with him. Even the little bit you get of Daniel in this seems to make him feel real. He's a guy who took his little bit of Celebrity Status to make an honest living. Well, as honest as a Used Car Salesman can be. No offense, guys I just bought a used car from yesterday. While we could- and may- get more to really flesh them out here, the Episode makes it all pretty clear. I'm still amazed at how well this worked! I can't speak for the rest of the Show, but I, for one, am ready to see what comes next...
A good start to a Show. It manages to make both people seem balanced & sets things up nicely.
