Steineded How sad is this?
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

tcox-286-143466 Every episode has heart, they are brilliantly crafted and you geneuiny care about all of the characters. Fantastic writing has made this series one of the best I have ever seen, mostly because of the nostalgia and fun. A must see whether you have seen the Karate Kid movies or not. Go and watch them though if you can!
Paul Magne Haakonsen I must admit that I skipped on this when I first heard of it. I mean, come on the good guy and bad guy from the first (and ancient) "Karate Kid" movie making a return to a series about the very same characters. And it being a YouTube production didn't really help win me over either.But after having heard so many speak fondly of it, I decided to give it a chance. And I must admit that I ended up binge-watching all ten episodes. Sure, I liked the "Karate Kid" movies when I was a kid, but they weren't all that outstanding. However, this 2018 series really had something to offer.It was actually amazingly fun and entertaining to see both Ralph Macchio return to reprise the Daniel LaRusso character, but even more entertaining to see William Zabka return to visit the Johnny Lawrence character. Zabka really stepped up and performed the you-know-what out of reprising this character, it was just phenomenal.The storyline in "Cobra Kai" was good, although it started to turn into a farce towards the last couple of episodes with situations from the original movie being re-used albeit presented with a new skin on it. That was a little bit too unoriginal for my liking. But aside from that, then "Cobra Kai" was wholeheartedly entertaining from start to end.And having seen the 2018 "Cobra Kai", then it actually puts the 1984 "Karate Kid" in a whole new perspective. What if Daniel LaRusso wasn't the innocent kid that he was made out to be? He did a lot of bully things in that movie actually. Have we been mislead by the 1984 classic movie and the LaRusso character all together?Regardless, "Cobra Kai" was a glorious trip back memory lane, and it was wonderful to see the growth and situations that both Daniel and Johhny had ended up in.As for the ending of the series... Well, that was a great way of ending it. Was it predictable? For sure. But it was still good, nonetheless.This is definitely something that you should take the time and effort to sit down and watch if you have the time and the chance, and especially if you grew up watching the "Karate Kid" movies, at least the first two... the latter and the remake, let's just pretend they never happened.Good entertaining in every aspect, and a good combination of good storyline, action, drama, character development, and dialogue. This definitely took me by surprise.
Hudson_Hawk26946 I am shocked to see why this utter garbage show is getting high reviews. It seems like a scam to get everyboady to rate this cheap crap so high. Can't beleive the original actors signed on for this.They could've done it better, instead we get soapy low budget, predicable cliched dialogue, predicatble plot and cheesy acting. This is an insult to the Karate Kid legacy.Very sad. It could've been really good but instead we get a bad show with very low production values.This made me want to watch the original Karate Kid again and I did, just to try and forget this pathetic excuse of a tv show.Avoid if you know what's good for you. Even Karate Kid 3 is better and that's saying a lot.
deviloutofnowhere Pretty much watched this show over a single day . When I saw the trailer ... I thought "oh look they brought karate kid back as a tv show" & thought it would be a parody of itself . There are a lot of references & call backs but they feel organic & welcome & not really forced at all. Great performances from the cast & in particular Zabka who brings the most laughs & also you really root for him . The whole good vs bad guy has been flipped & thrown into a blender. Just watch this show .. didn't expect it to work but it was amazing .
