An exciting adventure from the beginning to the end! Zorro is one of my favorite shows ever! It's very well written and the swordplay is fantastic. They used real swords because Walt Disney wanted realism into the scenes. Guy Williams is superb as Diego\Zorro and this was the role of his life. All the cast is wonderful, full of chemistry and magic!
All in all , this is great and even today is fantastic. A show (in this case a movie) for all ages!

"Cobra Kai" the new outstanding series, dignifies the original movie concept and manages to please both fans and the youngest public who are exposed for the first time to this universe.
It is very well written and interpreted. The actors have solid performances and are completely in the character. It's interesting to see the story from Johnny Lawrence's point of view. William Zabka shines as the anti-hero, one of the goals of this new approach. Ralph Macchio is also great and very true to his character Daniel Larusso. The series also pays homage to Pat Morita in a well deserved way.
The social values and teachings of martial arts cross each other once again in this story of friendship and inner struggle. Thankfully the creators chose not to give too much politically correctness. The characters have many layers that give value and interest to their inner growth and journey.
I really liked the way they dealt with current issues such as bullying, social exclusion, lack of balance and the search for belonging. The Millenials are very well portrayed in the increasingly youth portayal of the 21st century digital world. I've seen the episodes in a row, like a long-running movie because it catch us right from the first minute and we want to know how it's going to end.
I dare to say this show is one of the best series of the year 2018. Highly recommended!
