7/10
Counterbalance
28 June 2019
We are at the halfway point of the first series. The trouble with Johnny is that he can be a jerk so easily. It is why Daniel got one over him all those years ago.

When Johnny gets a female student interested to learn karate. It is Aisha who was formerly a friend of Samantha LaRusso who gets teased for being fat.

Johnny does not want to teach her karate. Miguel gets him to change his mind. Johnny initiates Aisha to karate the hard way only to discover she is a natural Cobra Kai.

Miguel meanwhile defends Samantha's honour and beats up Kyler and his cronies at the school canteen.

Daniel belatedly realises he has also been a jerk. By trying to get one over Johnny he causes the doubling of the rent of all the other tenants in the mall.

Daniel visits Mr Miyagi's grave and thinks back to the time he would give Daniel life lessons. We see Daniel focusing his mind and putting on a karate suit.

It looks like the two contrasting views of karate just might clash again.
