Cobra Kai
Massimo Ranieri sells cars in America, and in the advertising slogan, he says, "we kick the competition's ass," so he's rather arrogant, but it seems everything is going well for him.
Claudio Lippi, on the other hand, is doing poorly. He drinks, he's poor, always looking for a fight in the streets to get noticed. He would like to do some TV sales or make some guest appearances, but no one pays attention to him anymore. He's very envious of Massimo Ranieri, he's never been able to stand him, and he's convinced that back in the day, Massimo outmaneuvered him and it doesn't sit well with him.
Claudio's family situation is also dire; while Massimo Ranieri has a nice family despite his young son being chubby and mean, Claudio Lippi is separated, his wife is a tramp, and even his son, a secret fan of Nino D'Angelo, doesn't love him.
Massimo is always happy and positive, whereas Claudio is always spiteful and violent. However, even if it doesn't seem so, Massimo Ranieri is very wicked. At a certain point, he kidnaps Claudio's son, and then they (the victim and the perpetrator) soon find each other because Massimo is Neapolitan, and although Claudio's son is not, being a secret fan of Nino D'Angelo, he is a bit too, so they get along famously. Claudio's son settles into the Ranieri villa and freeloads food and lodging without any qualms. In short, he acts just like his idol Nino D'Angelo in the film "Popcorn e Patatine" (I think) where he's poor but falls in love with a rich girl (Massimo Ranieri's daughter, who is secretly involved with a Mexican). In my opinion, they borrowed a bit from this film, but perhaps it was just a tribute to Nino. Claudio, however, finds out that Massimo kidnapped his son, loses it, and draws a giant phallus on the face of the billboard of Massimo Ranieri's car ads. In short, they fight ferociously as they did when they were young, but now I can't tell you everything; still, Cobra Kai is great, I liked it a lot, I recommend it.
