![]() ![]() Rgentinian Brazilian, quadriplegic orphan, Ava ( Alba Baptista) lies dead in a Catholic morgue in Spain until she suddenly gets a second chance at life when a halo is ripped out of a seriously injured warrior nun (hence the series name, Warrior Nuns), Sister Shannon, and is placed into her back. Warrior Nun Action/Drama | Created by Simon Barry TIP: Put on your team head band, wax on and off, and be ready…this is about to get Cobra Kai real. From the first shot paralleling Lawrence’s fall from respect and LaRusso’s rise to success, you’re just as hooked as you were when you first saw the bonsai tree cutting scene in the original 1984 trailer. The series has everything but Miyagi, an absence surely missed. Their kids are full of angst, privilege, and are shining examples of why having to work for what you get in life is critical to building character. ![]() The twist is they both have modern day teens that are anything but easy. The story juxtaposes LaRusso’s and Lawrence’s past struggles and their desire to live up to who their teenage selves always wanted to be: champions. Johnny on the other hand appears to have lost his way including having a drinking problem until he meets Miguel ( Xolo Maridueña).Īdmittedly this might be one of the best spinoff shows made to date, at least for anyone with a love of 80s films and a fondness for nerdy-ness. With a wife, kids and a successful array of car dealerships, Daniel Son’s life is on the upswing, including his daughter Amanda ( Courtney Henggeler) who is following in her dad’s footsteps as a kickass martial artist. Dare I say I think the series is even better than the original, with the exception of longing for some of Sensei Miyagi’s nuggets of meaningful-yet-super-sarcastic words of wisdom.Ĭobra Kai picks up with middle-aged Daniel LaRusso ( Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence ( William Zabka) holding down life in very different ways. Yes there were sequels and they were cool but none are as totally awesome as Cobra Kai. These two are novice actresses who could give the tried and rue a run for their money.Ĭobra Kai Action, Dramedy | Created by Josh Heald, Hayden Schlossberg, and Jon HurwitzĮt’s just get this one started by saying in the words of our inner teenager, Karate Kid ended rather abruptly once that sweep led to the praying mantis kick. Yes, it has everything-and it’s brilliant. Season One has twists and turns, church, bounty hunting, twin telepathy powers, wild relationships, high school drama, strange rivalries, sex, drinking, parents that have secrets of their own, frozen yogurt, and a stripper club. ![]() Becoming bounty hunters while moonlighting at the local frozen yogurt shop Bowser owns, Sterling and Blaire confront their sexuality, question the church, and try keeping their secret life from their parents, Debbie ( Virginia Williams) and Andersen ( Mackenzie Astin). ![]() Sixteen years-old, super talented with a weapon (thanks to their Christian daddy who taught them how to yield a gun), its when the twins mistakenly catch a “skip” (someone bailing on their bail) and join forces with veteran bounty hunter, Bowser Jenkins ( Kadeem Hardison) that their boring Jesus-driven-private-school lives change forever. ’m not sure I’ve loved teenagers as much as I love the Teenage Bounty Hunter twins, Sterling ( Maddie Phillips) and Blaire Wesley ( Anjelica Bette Fellini). Teenange Bounty Hunters Dramedy | Creator: Kathleen Jordan Hats off to the head of programming who continues to take risks and not fall into the category of networks and studios only looking for light and fluffy. The latest lineup of programming is for the viewers that want to take in some serious badassery, get nostalgic about Mister Miyagi and karate, engage in some devilish British homicidal humor, chill with nuns that curse, and experience a second season of a show that will rock your world. Etflix continues to keep us entertained by taking risks and creating programming that acts as a buffer to the chaos. ![]()
