Cobrai Kai is certainly one of the funniest and most captivating series I've ever seen, however many and many defects, I will make a brief comment divided by season:
Season 1 - It's extremely funny, the fights are average and the characters are good up, the real problem is the exacerbated fanservice and how things just fliped aside and didn't inane to trying to create something innovative and proper; the series has a yummy rhythm to watch, the jokes are good -- even the double-meaning --, but it has an incoherence in the action of the characters and the end was ridiculous and the bad romance:
Season 2 - The jokes remain good, broad character development, the problem is when she tries to get out of this paradigm of action and go to a more dramatic side, training, training, then comes at the end and is a complete ramming because the whole fight was because of a MÍSERO KISS! And the fight scenes weren't that good, they tried to put humor in the middle, it got too slapstick that, everybody at school fighting without even knowing why -- why? -- and to make matters worse the inconsistency in Robby's actions, the boy is training so much to learn to have balance, to be a calm person and such, but then, when Miguel apologizes and for the fight, Robby attacks him in a dishonorable and compassionless way, LEARNED WHAT IN MIYAGI-DO? In the fight between the two, in the first season, Miguel was unsportsmanlike- but because he was told to be like that -- without compassion --, unlike Robby who learned never to attack, only to defend himself and have balance in life, but managed to be bad character and make that scene forced of Miguel fall. Next season's probably going to suck.

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 entertains, but it actually takes old fan theories into account, or at least one of the more popular fan theories and spins it to make the old baddie look like a good guy, to make the story more relatable from Johnny's perspective and it manages to do it without insulting or antagonizing the fans.

I don't want to say that this is the perfect reboot, but it is the sort of Reboot that is successful for a reason. It's the one that Hollywood should do more of.

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 of leaving the viewer to decide who the real heroes and villains are because unlike the movies nothing here is black and white.

If you've seen the films, you will really enjoy this. If you haven't, you'll probably really enjoy it anyway. It stands on it's own and feels modern, but as a continuity, 30 years later, it does this masterfully and very respectfully to its past and its source without heavily relying on it.

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 some very familiar faces from the Karate Kid series - bringing together old and new generations.
I can't wait to see how it concludes!
