Season 3 Review:
Three seasons in, creators Heald, Hurwitz, and Schlossberg preside over a scorching hot sandbox that’s as complex as it is cluttered. Characters keep emerging from the shadows, beats zig and zag at a rapid clip, and the action gets more and more ludicrous. But, clutter can be good for a series, particularly when it’s maintained, and the three showrunners happen to keep a clean dojo.

Season 3 Review:
Call-backs to the movie are as ample as fans would demand. At the same time, the show refuses to wallow in the past, preferring to drag it screaming into the present. Cobra Kai will continue to thrill Eighties kids. But it is no museum piece and viewers insufficiently ancient to appreciate the totemic significance of phrases such as “wax on/wax off” will still get kick from it.

Season 3 Review:
The new season has flaws in its efforts to give its story new dramatic underpinnings, and those flaws at times really bugged me. The new season is also the closest creators Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg have come to evoking the actual tone of the original franchise.

Season 2 Review:
One could wax on (wax off) about these representation issues, but the show’s strength is also its weakness. “Cobra Kai” is simply too accurately a product of that specific ‘80s franchise. Sure, it could change, but why should it? The series remains entertaining despite its flaws, and fortunately it has a hero that negotiates this disconnect between retro mindset and contemporary consciousness.

Loved it. Season 1 is just plain awesome with some great throwbacks to the original movies. The nostalgia is just so good and adds a lot of depth to the movies in terms of character development. It is cheesy as hell but I couldn't stop wanting more. Season 2 was also pretty good.

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

Uma tentativa de prender o público com clichês fracos, história rasa e totalmente previsível, sem o mínimo de vontade de criação dos roteiristas, que se utilizam do senso comum em uma tentativa de desenvolver a trama.
