is back for the first part of its final—elongated—season. Netflix dropped the first five episodes of the sixth season of thekicked off back in 2018 as a YouTube Premium original series and gained a small but loyal following. After its second season, it moved to Netflix where it exploded in popularity thanks to both its pedigree as arole but instead of the hot-shot high school karate star, Johnny was all grown up. Sort of. Now a middle-aged man, he was mostly down on his luck.
Silver was like Kreese on steroids—a violent psychopath who took things even further than Kreese was willing to go. This was a startling change of pace for the show, but it mostly worked .

I kind of like that we’re getting some more Miyagi history and that it makes him less noble and more human, with actual flaws.
