Many people have been raving about this show ever since it joined Netflix this fall. My friends told me dude you have to watch this awesome show. What show? Cobra Kai. YOU MEAN THAT SHOW I TOLD YOU TO WATCH TWO YEARS AGO. Just to clarify although the show is labeled as a Netflix Original it was originally a YouTube original show that I recommended my friends to watch just when it began coming out. Did they listen no. However when Netflix bought the rights to the show and it appeared on a streaming platform that they used more often they decided to give it a watch.
Have you ever wondered what happened after the Karate Kid movies? What happened after everyone grows up. This is often the case after a movie or trilogy. Cobra Kai does an excellent job of portraying the event that happen when the main characters in the story grow up. By effectively introducing new characters and building the conflicts through karate, the show is very entertaining. What even better is that if you haven’t watched the original Karate kid movies I doubt it would make much difference in you enjoying the show. It’s set up in a way that you only need a broad understanding of what happened in the previous movies to understand the current events. Even if you don’t have that they pretty much explain or recap past events with small commentaries or flashbacks throughout the show.
