What should have been a fun single season of "I'm a loser obsessed with this thing that happened in the 80's" spoof goodness turned into something that didn't elicit the laughs but instead took itself semi-seriously. While "oh we get it. You're the bad guy now and he's the good 'un" was cute, it then doubles down for a second season.
The second season seeks to turn all of the kids into mini versions of the two antagonists. The 80's sports movie rivalry is played out on a grand scale. Gone is the Mr Miagi pacifist leanings of the movie instead turning an entire school into a war ground - consequences be damned!
What you end up with is a soul less (although lets face it. 2 and 3 were pretty much "Oh people liked it? We should do it again!" efforts. Imagine if they did that with every sports movie? Like Rudi 2: This time he's shorter!) extension to the movies.
How this is popular is a complete mystery to me.
