"Cobra Kai" by Benjamin Cuneo

The series takes up the lives of Johnny Lawrence (played by William Zabka), a former member of Cobra Kai and antagonist of the 1984 film, and Daniel LaRusso (played by Ralph Macchio), 34 years after the original film. Perhaps one of Cobra Kai's best ingredients is its good handling of nostalgia. Without making it cliché or desperate anchors in the past, it maintains plots, threads, and "easter eggs" with the original Karate Kid saga.

Kreese, in the skin of Martin Krove, becomes an absurd villain, as much as they try to explain, with unnecessary flashbacks, how Kreese became the blowout villain, the idea of ​​a bad guy who is bad just because he wants to. The original story of The Karate Kid featured Daniel LaRusso, a gangly teenager who was bullied by a group of young karate practitioners led by the unbeatable Johnny Laurence. Tired of the mistreatment, Daniel learns karate from Mr. Miyagi, thus overcoming his fears and facing his eternal rival in a tournament. And the rest is history.

I don’t agree with some aspects of the main character, but I recommend it because it is entertaining. If you like action and challenges you won’t get bored. I rate this series with 4.5 stars.

The One in Charge by Renata Capomassi

‘The one in charge is an original Argentine comedy web television series on Star+. The plot follows the life of a building manager, who will use his power to meddle in the lives of the tenants. This series contains eleven chapters lasting half an hour each. I find this series very fun and interesting because it seems to me that the chapters make you want to continue watching them because you are intrigued to know what is going to happen. The plot or the things that you don't expect is what is interesting in some movies.  It stars Guillermo Francella, Gabriel Goity, Moro Anghileri, Gastón Cocchiarale and Pochi DuDucass. The series premiered on October 26, 2022. I recommend this series because it is very interesting and fun. It is also very good to see families with people over 14 years of age. I also thought that the actors acted quite well. I give it four stars because it was very good but it wasn't the best series I've seen.
