Kole is an amazing episode. Like all of the Iwájú episodes, I loved this one. I found this episode, Kole, to be worse than the premiere, but a slight improvement over the last episode. This series has still slipped under the cracks for popularity, but that's probably for the better. I mean look at The Simpsons! I like to review Simpsons episodes, but most of the episodes I've reviewed are mediocre. That show literally has 35 seasons,and in most of those seasons the writers ran out of ideas. The only reason the Simpsons is going on anymore is just to be the longest running animated series ever. That's it. While the show has been improving over the last three years, most of the series's episodes are mediocre at best. Most of them aren't really bad, just okay, but the series has definitely fallen from it's earlier years. Now look at the Skibidi Toilet web series!! This less than stellar YouTube web series has become one of the most popular web series to date, although slightly less popular than the Amazing Digital Circus Pilot. People just LOVE this series. Millions of people are obsessed with this and mostly watch the new episode the day it comes out. I've only watched 11 episodes, and I'm not that interested at all. I get that the YouTuber who made it had a very low budget, but I'm really not that interested. However, there are millions of people who are obsessed, and the creator has to keep fishing out episodes. I think Iwájú is actually best left off without much attention, because it's been a stellar series for me so far and I don't want it to get ruined by popularity like Skibidi Toilet and the Simpsons did. Anyway I love how this show chooses a character to focus on and focuses on them for the whole episode. I personally find that really cool, and it a new way to look at other characters challenges and perspectives. I like how this episode gave lots and lots of great depth to Kole, giving us a taste of his mind and what type of challenges he faces. Although my favorite character is definitely Tola, whenever I see her on screen she puts a smile on her face, I think that developing Kole is a very good idea because after all he is one of the main characters and from the first episode I could see he had a lot of depth in his character and he was very three dimensional and layered. Seeing Kole's journey about trying to pick the right choice and protecting his friend at the same time just feels so powerful and griping to me. I like how not just this episode but this series tries to explain the very dark topic of kidnapping to kids as old as my sister to adults and grandparents who are around 90 years old. I think this series crosses age barriers, I don't know because I'm still a kid, but I could definitely see how most adults could like this. In this episode when Kole and Tola interacted Kole is definitely acted like Tola's father. Both of them are very protective of Tola, and want to make sure she is completely absolutely safe. Even though Tola's father has a lot of depth, but Kole has much more depth, and is a more complex character in my opinion. The next episode is going to focus on Tola's dad though, so maybe Tool's dad will get even more depth in the next episode and as the series goes by. I personally loved this episode, and in all, I give Kole a 8.5.
