Season 4 Review: Although it meandered a bit on its way to the finale, I still ended the 10th episode feeling like the show had been reborn. Read full review

Season 3 Review: All in all, Cobra Kai , which thankfully has already been picked up for a fourth season, remains a pure, escapist delight. Read full review

Season 1 Review: For the most part, it's an extremely clever revival, an overachiever that knowingly plays off the title's kitsch factor while evolving the characters and augmenting the cast in savvy ways. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Flawed as this second round may be, “Cobra Kai” remains worthwhile viewing with a slew of conversation starters, though perhaps not the ones that made the series worth recommending the first time around. But it remains entertaining enough to merit a sequel, even if only to find out whose way wins out in the end. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The thing you don't expect is for Cobra Kai to be pretty decent and to fill its entire first season with enough homages, twists and reversals to be much more consistently entertaining than it has any right to be. Read full review

Season 4 Review: Cobra Kai’s overt nostalgia is of a simplistic dudebro variety, marked by Johnny’s neanderthal attitude and routine references to the likes of Rocky III, Bloodsport and Top Gun. Yet more objectionable is its regressive sitcom form, which reduces its comedy and romantic/familial/peer dilemmas to a fourth-grade level. For a season or two, that might have lent the show a quaint charm. At this point, however, it’s just a sign of everlasting immaturity. Read full review

I have to give it a full 10.
This Series makes so much different than others that it just stands out.
They acomplish to write about many Charakters and nobody is the typical good or evil one, it is just a point of View (how it is often in real Life). The Teenies are not as overwrittenI have to give it a full 10.

The Teenies are not as overwritten melodramatic as in other Series, they do not go on your nerves, you do not think it is a overfunded soap Opera.
The Fights ae well done!

For having such a good writing and charakter Development it deserves 10 points!… Expand

An absolute masterpiece. This show is a hidden gem and deserves a lot more recognition than it’s gotten. The pacing is great, the acting and character interactions are phenomenal, there’s nothing I would change about this show! Definitely one of the best series I’ve ever seen

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Una serie excelente muy recomendable para toda la familia yo naci en el 96 y recuerdo haber visto karate kid cuando pequeño pero tengo vagos recuerdos y con esta serie me di cuenta que no es tan necesario haber visto las peliculas antiguas, eso si mi nota 8 es porque el final de temporada 2 lo encontre muy irreal y poco serio… Expand

Lets get the bad out of the way. The Johnny character looks like he can do some moves, but he is way slow. The Daniel characters still looks awkward doing any move above slow mo.

The Johnny character looks like he can do some moves, but he is way slow. The Daniel characters still looks awkward doing any move above slow mo. While the misfit kids martial arts performances are ropey at best. That being said with the suspension of disbelief fully engaged the family enjoyed season one and two. Caveman Johnny had some good comedy value and good drama value. He was and is the show for sure. The Migual was a good supporting character. Hawk was fun in a over the top way. Nice to see Daniel back for sure. Bringing back another character in season two was icing on the cake for sure ( no spoilers ). Fun show will some feels, laughs and some really serious moments of life changing drama. If the show has an underlying moral message. With lethal power comes responsibility and don't lie and keep secrets from loved ones. Good message for kids for sure.… Expand
