But the show knows how to give the viewers what they want- whether it's the fights, the revenge plot, romance, or simply re-visiting a beloved movie that has been firmly placed in the zeitgeist of America, it's a good time all around. The overload of melee combat fights among teenagers (seemingly every couple days they beat one another to a pulp) which IRL would have led to very serious multiple injuries or death and serious felony criminal charges did get tiresome, so your belief needs to be suspended a bit.


There's plenty of plot twists that savvy viewers will see coming, but are nevertheless enjoyable. It knows exactly what it is: a great time for the viewer. I love the backstory, and how each character is fleshed out in a meaningful way, so that everyone is a potential antihero, as well as hero! It gives a fun nod to aspects that shouldn't be taken too seriously, but doesn't disrespect the central struggles of its characters. I was the same age as the characters in the original Karate Kid movie and what fun it was to revisit them and the 80's in a new way.

In March, after Trubisky’s contract expired, the Bears signed. So skeptical of this show I let 3 seasons go by before I tried it out. Bears quarterback Nick Foles warms up during training camp at Halas Hall on Aug.
