Exactly. A bit of a double standard. I don't have any issue with Sam. As for Cobra Kai itself, it's a fine series, except for the most recent one, which just got ludicrous. Really the heart of it is the reconciliation between Johnny and Daniel, and since that's essentially done with now, the programme should have ended one series earlier at least, I think.
Still, for what is essentially fan fiction, Cobra Kai is surprisingly nuanced and well-written. :)
