Cobra Kai - Reviews

...the show is compact if not bingeable, and its conceit alone should bring eyeballs.

...an entertaining dramedy that mixes nostalgia and teen angst with an interesting meditation on the ever-shifting definition of masculinity.

...is an all you can eat buffet of deep cuts, callouts, world-building and karate face-offs literally decades in the making.

I simply couldn’t stop watching.

...this well-written reboot of the franchise is way better than you'd expect.

This marvelous sequel series to The Karate Kid isn't just a huge suckerpunch of nostalgia for kids of the '80s. It's also a sharp, dry comedy of the kind we've come to expect these days.

...a ridiculous, karate-loving delight.

It’s all quite ridiculous and always entertaining...

...Cobra Kai has a spring in its step.

...Cobra Kai pulls no punches in season 6...

This object lesson on how to make a TV spin-off from an old movie franchise is even more fun third time round, and you don’t even need to be a Karate Kid fan to enjoy it.

Like a tornado kick to the face, Season 4 may take a while to wind up but it smacks you squarely in the teeth by the end.

Folks who have stuck with the franchise just want a feel-good finale that sees the characters who crane-kicked their way into their hearts all those years ago stick the landing. And stick it they do.

...an emotional farewell to the Karate Kid gang.
