Same characters in the role
Only half way through Season One at the minute but I'm really enjoying this series.

Every episode is about 30mins long so you can quickly get caught up in what's happening and the episode is over before you know it.

I love seeing the same characters 34 years after the events of Karate Kid. They still have some of the same animosity towards each other which makes me laugh at times. Johnny can't get over the fact he lost to Daniel and Daniel doesn't like Cobra Kai being restarted as a dojo.

I do like Johnny's way of teaching. It's not exactly traditional but it's turning Miguel into a great Karate practitioner and he's standing up to his bullies.

Can't wait to watch more.

Leah, daughter of the cheesemaker has had a hard life living with a violent father. Leah marries Judah and finds protection and care. But the land is controlled by Antiochus IV, who is descended from one of Alexander the Great's generals. When he issues a decree that all Jews are to comply with Syrian laws, the devout Jews chance it all to follow the law of Moses.

Judah's father Mattathias decides to move his family from Jerusalem Modein to flee the punishment for defying the decree. By defying the decree, it begins a war that will cost many their lives. Before his death, Mattathias commands Judah to continue the war, otherwise, the Jewish lineage and their lands would be annihilated. Leah wants peace and wrestles with her husband's decision to be the commander of the army. Will there ever be peace?
This is the incredible chronicle of the Maccabees, told through the wife of Judah, who learns what courage and sacrifice are all about.

The author Angela Hunt has done an incredible amount of research and has produced a powerful history lesson entwined with her own creative writing. The author has a way of captivating the reader's attention while teaching us historical content. I like the way the author writes her novels through the eyes of people that were actually there, teaching us history through their eyes.

This is an excellent read, especially for those who love history.
