Cobra Karens I’m confused and disappointed about how this show got so many stars. What are you giving this 4 or 5 stars for? The acting? The writing? Or the nostalgia because you loved Karate kid and need more of it regardless of quality? Is this like star wars now? The writing is sooohohoh cheesy and poor. The only reason to watch this show is because you love Karate Kid. The same reason you love star wars. You’ll watch it regardless. It’s an unconditional love I guess. But dagnit gimme better writing and dialogue! After the show stopped following Eli Moskowitz the Hawk badass and his ever skeptical friend Demetri, you get to watch the rest of the cast you liked, started to like, or went back and forth on, turn into the worst unrealistic tunnel-vision cheeseball drama cases ever. Stuck in an endless loop of the same frustratingly stubborn obliviousness that would make any Karen jealous. Ultimately, the antagonists or former antagonists in this show carry it. Silver and Kreese, and up until maybe season 5, Johnny Lawrence were the only thing keeping me hanging on. Everyone else is just an unrealistic drama bomb with tunnel vision and Karen-itis. Especially Sam. Holy crap her scene in the sensory deprivation tank/Yoda’s Cave on Dagobah was a painful scene. Painful in that it was so bad I had to stop and take a break. The original scene flew in Star Wars because that scene didn’t suck the life out of the drama…cause it had good writing and character that weren’t all Karens. And Daddy Daniel Larusso could not be more tunnel vision and face slappingly frustrating. It’s so bad that I can’t even like his character anymore. Why they gotta go doin Daniel-San like that? They doin Daniel dirty. You’re just gonna reveal a room in that tiny building that he never went into until he needed a convenient solution reveal? Barf. The convenient occurrence writing style that ruins tv shows and kills their quality. It’s so sad that the piggy people keep rolling in that crap and supporting it with a “ooo yess more crap please. Ahh yiss” I realize that by continuing to watch this I too am a piggy, and not a squeaky clean piggy either. I’ll keep watching it, rolling in the crap with everyone else, but I will not give them the ratings they don’t deserve. Shame shame.

Season One: It’s yet another prime example of the amateur, cliche writing style that’s once again backed by a big enough budget to afford the special effects that carry it. For this show, it only carries it to a three star rating. Being saved at the last minute over and over as everything goes wrong in the most irritating and repetitive of ways, the drama between the family and the dialogue throughout are comically poor, along with an incredibly frustrating antagonist character that’s so bad (poor bad) that it’s almost not funny anymore. On a positive note, she reminds me a lot of Ally Sheedy. So as long as you enjoy Ally Sheedy, watching cliches and can still appreciate the overplayed and repetitive drama as long as there’s an interesting theme, a bunch of cool looking space stuff and a guy who has a pet chicken, it’s a 3 out of 5. Season Two Writing seems to be a bit better, not much different except for an ending that makes the third season seem like it will be better than the rest.
