Frame work for the series! Well acted, directed, and executed. One goes through the trials of modern day high school with its clichs. Bullies and modern methods of bullies via social media. How more modern P C teachers etc are out of touch, just like back in the 80's with what is going on. There is a message of what you do creates the opposite reaction. The bullies are creating enemies and the reason why Cobra Kai exist. People not wanting to be pushed around. A very social Darwinian theory. Then there is the life of Daniel LaRusso, which is privileged, and is out of touch why some characters benefit from Cobra Kai. Lawrence is flawed, but we see the relationship between him and the mentorship of his lone student. Trying to toughen, sharpen the fatherless youth just like Lawrence was. LaRusso is of course fear for moral reasons the philosophy of Lawrence and Cobra Kai. The Cobra Kai series has the two schools of thought and lead characters diametrically opposed. Like forces in nature. Great frame work for an entertaining series.
