In your opinion who are the best/worst characters to you and why.

Worst:

Sam - not the worst of the worst, but makes a lot of dumb decisions.

Anthony - small part and whenever he does speak it's annoying.

Robby - I didn't like how he went from bad to good on almost a dime. He just has a look of dishonesty about him, but that may be the point.

Stingray - He has some funny lines/parts but he's really out of place and annoying.

Best:

Johnny - Very funny, especially with his flashbacks/dreams and being 'badass'

Kreese - Stone cold bad guy. Still plays it very well.

Hawk - biggest transformation - zero, to badass, to bad guy.

Amanda - Voice of reason; has some funny lines

Daniel - Also really funny, at all the lengths he goes through to 'kick' the competition.

Bonus:
Best characters (original KK cast excluded since we know the original cast will make everyone's best list.)

Amanda - See above^

Hawk - See above^

Miguel - Decent transformation from zero to hero

Carmen - Another voice of reason. Very funny taking part in Johnny's dreams.

Tory - Good motivation for wanting join Cobra Kai. Good foil to Miguel's do-good nature.

I’m still in the middle of season one. but so far, I like:

- Johnny - interesting use of turning the antagonist from the original into the star

- Miguel - good comedic character who fit the role. I like the insertion of an Hispanic kid protagonist, as Johnny appeared to be racist at first (“illegal”) but then changed. It really highlighted Johnny’s growth

- Daniel - obvious

- Hawk : comedy

- the other friend who sat with Miguel and Hawk : comedy

Didn’t like:

- Robby : don’t want to be mean, but I thought his hair made him look feminine. Also, he came across as a bad guy at first, the way he robbed the dude in the electronic store, hung out with thugs, and spoke rudely to Johnny. Then suddenly became good?

- Samantha - didn’t come across as sympathetic enough

- the Chinese bully (didn’t look intimidating enough)

- Anthony Larusso - too over the top. If a kid talks to his parent that way, then the kid deserves to get a beating

Just finished season 1 & 2 on netflix:

Best:

Johnny. QUIET!

Miguel. Maintains a semblance of common sense and loyalty.

Aisha. Example of what confidence can do for your personality.

Moon. From a mean girl to a person with heart.

Miguel's Grandmother. Hilarious and real.

Worst:

Robby. Petty. Traitorous.

Daniel. Wooden acting. Petty. Poor parent.

Anthony. Just an annoying spoiled walking tub of lard.

Demetri. Every time he talks, I want Johnny to yell, "QUIET!" I can't be alone thinking this.

Amanda. She kicks everybody's ass even though she was out of practice for 8 years.

Side notes:

Kreese is Kreese. Was a dick still a dick. Good for the show.

Hawk. Dweeb to badass to brainwashed bully. He doesn't fall into either category, but outside of Robby his character pisses me off the most.
