Honestly, I expected it to be just another 'reboot' crap, a stupid spinoff thing to cash-in on the success of the movies, so they have more ways to shove tedious, politically-correct agenda and SJW-crap down our throats, so I never wanted to watch it.
Even when I started watching Critical Drinker's review of this show, I almost skipped the whole video to go to some other video, but decided to let it try to convince me, and THEN I would never watch it.
But he actually made such good points, it really aroused my curiosity - now I had to see at least some of it.
So I watched the first episode, and holy cow, was CD correct! This isn't your typical, normal modern TV-show - there IS something about this!
It was a bit of unexpected "I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying!"-phenomenon.
I have to commend the people that created this show - there's SO much that has been done tastefully, and there are completely unexpected jokes, and every confrontation and fight scene is really intense. This show is the only modern TV show that has been able to hold my attention for extended periods of time (the teen and other family drama slows things down, though).
All the "Mr. Miyagi-respect" scenes, and the Doujou-building scenes are done with such amazing elegance and good taste, it really deserves praise. You don't usually see something this honest, direct and real - if some of the teen drama was removed, and some of the 'women are equal, except they're overpowered Mary Sues in every fight and no man ever hits a woman in the face, but other way around happens a lot'-stuff were EQUALIZED, ..
.. well, that's probably unreasonable to expect in modern times, this show is still brilliant. I love especially how Daniel and Johnny can drink beer, have fun, joke around, laugh together and talk like adults to each other in good atmosphere - - - and yet sometimes still punch each other in the face and throw each other around.
It's like it's not very clear whether they're enemies or friends.
