It's still the same cheesy show you've devoured for two seasons, except the emotional stakes have risen just enough to keep us coming back for more.

The tension between the different dojos has long since crossed the line from appealingly larger-than-life to outright ludicrous.

Yet again, Cobra Kai sends you back to The Karate Kid letting you experience the classic in a new light. And now it does the same with Karate Kid Part II as well. This show continues to be nostalgia at its best.

Even with its flaws in season three, Cobra Kai hasn't just honored the Karate Kid way of storytelling, but mastered it.

The third season looses a part of its magic but should please fans looking for nostalgia, something that the series had avoided until now by subtly mocking itself, while doing a surprisingly deep reflection of its film roots. [Full review in Spanish]

The third season is still awash in the charming characters and arched eyebrow that made it such a cult hit in the first place

An already charming cobra becomes fascinating with another strong dose of nostalgia and feel-good melodrama. [Full Review in Spanish]

Beneath the goofball charm and '80s, music stingers is a well-written show with great themes that will delight those longing for nostalgia and teenagers who love melodrama with some ass-kicking moments on the side

Cobra Kai is still a fun return to a franchise that still has life in it but this season is the first misstep in the franchise since Hilary Swank became the next karate kid.
December 28, 2020
Even with all the teen soap opera shenanigans, this is so clearly Johnny's story-without Zabka's nuanced take, Cobra Kai wouldn't work.

Bit ridiculous this season with roving "karate gangs" & incredible violence against children, but it has campy charm. Lawrence is the star, but Kreese gets interesting origin.
