Jul 27, 2022 (Updated Jul 27, 2022)
This is another charming mystery for mismatched sleuths Edwina and Beryl in the aftermath of World War I. I had a few pieces figured out before they did, but I didn’t figure most of it out until I reached the end. I was in awe of how it all came together when I did. Once again, I enjoyed seeing the growth in our two leads and in the other series regulars. At times the introspection can be a bit much, but that’s a minor complaint. I also enjoy how the time period comes to life on the pages. Fans will enjoy this latest outing, and if you haven’t started the series yet, you’ll be glad you did.

This season also brings a few new characters in the form of new students. It also brings us a new rival for Daniel's Daughter Samantha in the form of Tory, played by Peyton List.
Season 2 has plenty of fights as the students' Dojo's continue to be at odds with each other just as Daniel and Johnny's relationships fluctuate throughout the season. Not to mention the looming presence of Johnny's old Sensei Kreese, who has plans of his own.
While I enjoyed Season 2, it did fall short of the first season. Its re-use of certain story lines from the films was, I felt, not necessary. It's nice to have the nostalgia connections to the films, but I thought it pulled away from the original story we were getting in season 1.
The season culminates with an all out brawl, although I question the location and how long it carried on for based on that location (I don't want to spoil it for you). The shocking ending for several characters still makes me look forward to where it will go in season 3.
Overall another solid season from Cobra Kai and a good watch!
