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.
