Cobra Kai

I watched the whole first season. I loved it. Good drama and story line. I cant wait for season 2 to see how this story continues.

I didn't have many expectations going into this show, or at least, I didn't have high expectations. The ones I did have were that of a fun low budget trip down memory lane. But this is so much more than that. The production values are great, the casting is great, the plot, the writing, the tone, the pacing, acting, soundtrack. It's all great start to finish and it has what Mr. Miyagi taught us, balance. It seems to hit so many right notes without pushing anything too far, the comedy is just right, the emotional moments, just right, the cheese, the action, just right. It also does a great job o…

Quite bad. The fact that this is getting so much attention at the moment seems crazy to me. I've watched the first two seasons (with my GF) and I have to say that this whole thing is pretty embarrassing. I kind of enjoyed the first few episodes, because I thought it was being very tongue in cheek, but as the show progressed I started to realise it's just a bit shit. Shame.

I was a little nervous when the show first aired, but after watching the first season I got hooked...! It had some laughs and plenty of action. It was gritty in comparison to the film sequel. Series 2 started drawing the sand lines, so to speak, as we see there is no right or wrong, but a grey area. Then season 3 got even better! And the final episode...I was in awe! The two epic fight scenes; one with Miyagi-do students and former Cobra Kai students fighting side by side against Cobra Kai students, and the one with Lawrence vs Kreese then LaRusso vs Kreese. The whole itself brought back…

I didn't set out to watch Cobra Kai. In fact, my first reaction upon seeing the trailer for season one was to "cringe". It came across as a bad modern teen soap opera, that had hitched a ride with much older, martial arts franchise, from the 80's. Since then, I've been glad to have been proven "partly" wrong. Yes, it is a teen soap opera but enough of the original 80's Karate Kid films essence has rubbed off, making it moderately charming and watchable. Even to a wider, older audience. The re-emergence of original characters I remember as a teen, watching the original films, held my at…

This is another one of the shows I left IMDb over. I logged in, gave it a check, and all the reviews above 5 stars were gone. They don't want people to like it... ... and I understand why, Cobra Kai breaks all the rules. It respects the IP, and you aren't supposed to do that any longer. It respects the fans, and you can't do that either. Both of those are huge No-nos in present day Hollywood... because they want things to fail. And then, of course, it doesn't shriek politics at the top of it's lungs as loud as it can in every episode to push "Meh Message." In fact it not only e…

This is just such a terrible series it is hard to know how to cover it all in a brief review. At first it was slow but mildly interesting just because we remembered and liked the original movie. But the unbelievably stupid and childish behavior of the "adults" was so off-putting that I'm not sure why we even stuck with it. Just one example of the problems: can you really stomach a teacher throwing empty glass beer bottles at their students in an outdoor training area where everyone is always barefoot? This happens indoor too, and NOBODY every says one thing about how inappropriate or d…

It's a wonderful series, I really like it, I've seen it 3 times and I still can't get enough of it. I recommend you see it if you haven't seen it.
