Cobra Kai is so good it gives me hope that long-mooted follow-ups to other '80s classics like Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Goonies or Midnight Run could actually be done well.

There were levels of depth I didn't expect...it was surprisingly good, and a look at the Karate Kid trope through different perspectives.

Somehow, Cobra Kai... keeps surpassing all reasonable expectations.

While Cobra Kai could have gone the way of horrible 80s movie rehashing, it actually attempted to do something rarely seen: respect the original property.

This is the Karate Kid sequel I never knew I wanted, but am damn sure glad to have.

But if we must reboot our beloved old favorites, it's much better to see it done like this, using the passage of time as an asset and a way into a different story about the same people, than as a cheap rehash...

"Cobra Kai" is a lesson to others interested in mining the '80s for reboot ideas; if you're going to rely on nostalgia, at least do something interesting with it.

If you love the Karate Kid franchise, you'll find something familiar in YouTube Red's Cobra Kai.

This series has an underdog spirit of its own, even if it's not quite the triumphant crane kick it could be.
May 02, 2018
The series should appeal to savvy teens who delight in mildly transgressive content and to those nursing their nostalgia like Daniel and Johnny do.
