As a direct sequel to the original Karate Kid trilogy, Cobra Kai picks up thirty-four years after the All-Valley Karate Tournament with the same actors reprising their same roles from the original saga. We follow Johnny Lawrence, the villain of the first Karate Kid movie, and are shown how his life has completely turned upside down from the wealthy lifestyle he once lived in his teenage years, to working as a handy-man in his 50s and barely making any money. After he loses his job, as a last effort, he decides to reopen the Cobra Kai dojo to teach his teenage neighbor, Miguel, the way of Karate so he can defend himself at school. After word spreads around town about the new dojo, Johnny’s rival and original karate kid, Daniel Larusso, decides to open a dojo of his own to compete against Cobra Kai. With plenty of twists, drama, and a likable young cast, this is a great remake of an old classic.

Top Chef

If you’re a fan of cooking shows, this is one of the best to watch. With 18 seasons out to date, each season of the show is set in a different city where professional chefs from around the world compete against each other in various competitions, with a $250,000 cash prize for the winner of the show. Each episode features a “quickfire challenge” at the beginning where the chefs have very little time to make a dish and must work with specific ingredients. Often the winner of the challenge will receive immunity from being eliminated or an advantage in the second challenge. The next challenge is the elimination challenge, which has higher stakes but a longer time limit for the chefs to make their dishes, with the worst chef (decided by the judges) being eliminated from the show. For a fast-paced, exciting cooking show, look no further than Top Chef.

Throughout the competitiveness of the racers, and the exciting sites of all of the countries, the amazing race will never cease to entertain you.
