Season 1&2 = 8.5
Absolute fun, nice nostalgia flashbacks and self-aware of how silly it actually is. It was the only way to make a sequel series over 30 years later that worked so well.
Season 3 = 7.5-8 It's already beginning to crumble here, as Johnny & Daniel are pushed too far into the background, still very entertaining nonetheless. The biggest problem here is the increasing focus on the kids, who let's be honest are all unlikable except for Miguel. (Which becomes more and more annoying and an *** in the following seasons). Just like their relationship dramas, which are not only extremely forced, but nobody is interested in them either, since the kids anyway change friends, partners and dojos in the episode rhythm.
Season 4 = 6.5 You immediately notice the impact of Netflix and its typical topics...extremely harmless compared to other series, but still noticeable. Starts very weak but still managed to get some nice and fun episodes.
Season 5 = 5 Pretty crap, guilty pleasure material! Drifts off to a totally standard Netflix series, which also includes the bad writing! If it were Season 1 you wouldn't even know it had anything to do with "The Karate Kid" and the few times it does, it feels idiotic.
