Full disclosure- Karate Kid is one of my favorite movies. And yes, Mr. Miyagi (Pat Norita) got nominated for an Oscar.
That said, the first 2 episodes are quite fun (moreso the second). Kind of a perfect summer show even if a bit cheesy. The role reversal/plot is that Daniel Larusso is now the Encino rich guy and Johnny Lawrence is a destitute 40-year old living in Reseda that starts a dojo.
The soundtrack is great as are the music references - the show compares the 80s and today's culture quite a bit. I sub'd to Youtube Red on free trial to watch the rest this week.
