Cobra Kai, Season 4

 


Cobra Kai, Season 4 has just been released to Netflix.  This highly acclaimed follow up series to The Karate Kid has drawn fans from season to season and this series which started originally on YouTube has gone on to become on of the most binged, watched, fan favorite seasons of any television series.

This program and season once again bring back many of the original characters in the series. The series largely follows the much older Daniel LaRusso played by Ralph Macchio, and Johnny Lawrence played by William Zabka.  The Characters John Kreese played by Martin Kove and Thomas Ian Griffith makes his return as diabolical Terry Silver. 

 

This season is again, well directed with some twists and turns as if follows the dojos Cobra Kai, Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang. We continue to see changes in the characters of Johnny and Daniel as well as their children, and those they are closest to developing their own identities outside of the ones that would typically be chosen by their predecessors, no matter which dojo they happen to fight for. We see struggle with letting go as well as struggle in areas like forgiveness and cooperation. Of course, all of this comes at a cost, much like it does in real life and those consequences are one of the things that continues to make this series among the top-rated series in television. 

 

This season we see attempts at working together, but with such strong personalities, and so much pride can two leaders, who haven’t resolved their conflict come together to defeat a common enemy who could, would destroy their very existence?  Can anyone be trusted in a world where pride rules?  Then how can two views of life, and/or karate coexist?  Those are all questions among many others that are approached in season 4 of Cobra Kai. 

 

Cobra Kai is about much more than karate. It is about family, conflict, opposites, working through problems, consequences and much more in conjunction with living life in a sometimes-difficult world.  It is a series I highly recommend and appreciate due to the real-life situations approached. 

 

I personally really enjoyed the season, but I have enjoyed all the seasons and appreciate the binge ability of this. I watched all 10 episodes in less than 24 hours. The series has a way of doing that and then keeps you thinking even after you have completed it. 

 

On a scale of 1 – 10, for Season 4 I give a very deserving 8 and am already highly anticipating Season 5 as I know many others are.

For going on some thirty years now I have done the work of The Virtual Pew, in part planting seeds but another huge part is getting to know people and being called by many Pastor Mike by my involvement in social media. From engaging in life, I have seen the impact of my work on people on the fringes all over the world. I have run homeless programs, housed homeless people worked with drug addicts, prostitutes and much more. All while giving back my salary, and for the last 8+ years not taking a salary. You can help tremendously by supporting the work, not just from the movie reviews but the work that goes along side that in the development of relationships of helping save lives and give purpose to the lives of others. I appreciate your consideration in this calling that I have seen and know God uses.

If desiring more information about this ministry or the testimonials from others, please don’t hesitate to ask. I really am dependent on others to support this missional ministry to keep it going. I have nothing left to give as I’ve depleted, and I’m not complaining, my savings and retirement accounts, now, it really is dependent on you to allow yourself to be used by God to help us out.

I am more than willing to share at your church, business and so forth. I have shared across America as to the work God has done and done for me. I love those opportunities.

Blessings and thank you,

Mike Furches
