Scale A=3, Scale B=4, Scale C=3, Scale D=3, Scale E=3

Karate, Complex Relationships, Bullying, High School

I was skeptical, at first, that I would like this show. But many people kept telling me I would. And they were all right. It's fantastic. Yes, it is a little soap-opera-like. Yes, it is violent at times. But it's all about masculinity, father-son relationships, coming of age, redeeming yourself, etc. In other words, everything I like in a show. Well worth the watch. If you liked The Karate Kid films, you'll probably like this. And the fight choreography is excellent, too, if that matters to you.

Everything that I liked about Season 1 continued into Season 2. But even more conflicts and tension and interesting relationship developments. Can't wait for the next!
