| This has to be one of the best things I've seen in a long time. Great character development, and once you've finished an episode, you immediately want to see another. So far, two seasons have come out, and a third season is slated for 2020. I highly recommend it to those who haven't seen it yet, providing you've already seen the first three "Karate Kid" films. Has anyone else seen this? If so, what's your opinion on it? |

| I saw season one awhile ago. I watched it with my dad since he was always a big Karate Kid fan and I always used to watch the old movies with him. I liked it. It had good characters with nice motivations, decent message, was funny enough and of course nostalgic for us. Also, somehow the writing wasn't nearly as bad as the later Karate Kid films, particularly that fourth one that nobody likes. Overall I enjoyed it and thought that it was better than I would have expected from a youtube reboot of karate kid. I have yet to watch season two but I would like to see where the show goes. |

| I've really enjoyed it, there's just something so fun about it. I actually think I liked the second season even better than the first too. Only complaint is the Karate is so laughably goofy and unrealistic, but I wonder if that's just because my MMA experience and if most people who watch the show actually find the fights to be cool lol. But I can take it in good fun as when the writing has the occasional goofy moment, although I actually think the writing is the show's biggest strong suit it's really quite well done. It's mind blowing that Cobra Kai was actually done well, normally a show like this would be absolutely awful given Hollywood's track record. |
| without a specific reason, i never watched the films. However, after hearing two friendly people talking about it, i decided to watch it early this year with all 3 seasons uploaded on netflix and the result is... i've already seen it twice because of how enjoyable it is. I'm not gonna act as if it is perfect or something, because . And yes, the change of personality of Aisha and Hawk looked a little too fast. Whatever... the story is still very entertaining and Johnny Lawrence as the main character is likable in my view. One of his traits that i liked the most even if kinda unrealistic is I liked seasons 2 and 3 even more than the first one because Kreese hate him or not is a great villain and somehow still looked sympathetic himself during the Vietnam flashback and before, and Tory is my third favorite character after Johnny Lawrence and Demetri (a better version of me when i had his age, because at least he has the gift of sarcasm and i didn't). I'm gonna stop here because i would write for way too long, but i'm ending this congratulating the writers for how good they wrote the characters and telling the world is almost never entirely black or white and not caring about political correctness. Hard to choose a single favorite scene but the first i can think about is |

| Honestly, I am not a big fan and a lot of that show feels very shallow to me. Much of the dialogue is unrealistic and not cheesy in a good way. I honestly just do not understand why the police are not called after certain events happen like when.. Not to mention I can not bring myself to sympathize with Hawk or Tory, but that's my fault, not the shows. The same thing goes for Kreese. Also, I find most of the jokes to be cringy, some of the stuff with Johnny is just so unfunny to me. Finally, nobody in real life would think Hawk was actually "badass", and I hate how everyone actually thinks he is cool. |
| thats what-she |
| Well it's good but the romance just leaves sour taste in my mouth especially in season w I was so excited to see some action they got all 16 year old kissaing with different partners. The end of S2 was little unbelievable like how someone makes a scene in a school and you can't even stop them . The character development of Toby from a deliquent to good boy was worthless. |
 |
| Binge watched season 4 in its opening day. Final minutes are hard to swallow, but Cobra Kai is once again so entertaining and satisfying that i can't blame myself for consuming it in just a few hours (even if it will be painful to wait probably for one more entire year before the fifth season. |

| just because i don't want to edit once again my post from before, i forgot to add that Daniel's wife has earned even more respect than before because |
|
| After watching 3 seasons of Cobra Kai I have to say I am damn impressed Interesting characters that are much more well-balanced than in the old movies. But it still has the Karate Kid feeling and carrying on its essence I thought I would dislike this. But I find it to be extremely enjoyable overall so far |

| Cobra Kai is the only western series I am watching. It's the rare case of a sequel surpassing the original instead of just being a nostalgia cashgrab. Also it makes fun of woke culture so that's a plus for me |
| It's a pretty fun show. I enjoyed all episodes. My only problem is Sam because she gets away with anything for some reason nawol |
| hi,i like you. |
| Binge watched season 5 today, no regrets, if this tenth episode was the series finale it would have officially become my all time favorite tv show. Aware that a season 6 is going to be filmed and sort of concerned that it can't match the same level kept until now, but the writers have still gained so much of my trust and respect so at worst i'll probably still be very thankful for how the series has been so far so good, at best... still can imagine them outdo themselves once again. Except for season 3 early slow pacing for two very obvious plot points, it has never stopped being incredibly entertaining and satisfying. Even better... it still feels as it delivered a series finale and yet i don't feel as i'm in a unhealty wait for season 6 as i was afraid to go into. I wrote a lot of comments on computer and phone about every single episode while i was watching so i'll probably return to edit this post multiple times in the next days, not just for season 5 moments but for picking all my favorite or significative scenes since the beginning. Major spoilers under here, for everyone who hasn't seen season 5 specifically, avoid... |

| I love the show and love Johnny's character development. I couldn't stand him in the Karate Kid movies but now he is hands down my favorite character of the show. My second favorite would be Eli (Hawk) who also made the biggest change among the kids. I still couldn't find the time to watch the first episode of the 5th season but I will be doing that soonish. The constant relationship drama with Sam, Miguel, Tory and Robby is a bit annoying, tho I really appreciate almost all Karate Kid movie actors made a comeback in the show. |
 |
| Season 6 Part 1... i'll be honest, i thought about resisting the temptation and wait until the release of episodes 6-10 in mid november, but realized it would have been impossible to avoid all kind of spoilers between accidental clicks on youtube homepage and similar things, so... bingewatched one week ago during a train trip to Riminicomix, but stopped midway through episode 5 because things were becoming too depressing and ugly even if i'm aware that every episode 5 from seasons before had a major plot turning twist and i trust the creators of the show because of how amazing it has always been since the beginning. Spoilers... |
|
| almost forgot to recap part 2 of the last season, enjoyed it more compared to the first one, even if, well, the way it abruptly ended... Damn. |
