What is your best example of a show that has a great first season then gets woke or a show that pulls a bait and switch? For me I’d say Westworld and as a prediction I would say the Netflix Conan show will either be great in the first season to lure viewers or he will have a female sidekick who is much better

Really? I heard it’s a great show
I stopped watching after season 2, where they walked back everything from season 1. Maybe it's recovered, but (X) Doubt.
It's been a while and I'm just going off memory so this is probably full of holes. Generally speaking, Kreese is brought in to make it look like the original Cobra-Kai was always in the wrong when the whole point of the first season was to show it as a good model of masculinity for young men.
I didn't see Cobra-Kai season 2, but in Karate Kid he was fine with his students attacking Daniel for no reason, and he told them to cheat in the tournament. He had PTSD but to say he was totally a misunderstood good guy would be a retcon.
He was portrayed as a bad guy in Karate Kid 3 too. He's a grown-ass man who wants revenge on a kid.
