Cobra Kai - New YouTube Red Series

Being a fan of the original movies I was pretty excited for this. Last night I binged the entire season and came away very impressed. It feels like the Karate Kid sequel I always wanted but never got. William Zabka and Ralph Macchio both return and neither has lost a step. The show focuses on Zabka’s Johnny Lawrence trying to re-open the Cobra Kai dojo 34 years later. I won’t spoil anything and instead just link the trailer.

If you liked the original films then you owe it to yourself to at least check it out. The first two episodes are free, after that you need a YouTube Red account. They are running free one month trial so I was able to watch the entire season basically for free. Hopefully it garners enough interest that we get a season 2.

My coworker's husband worked on the show, said it was really cool to work with everyone. I have to get this added to my "Must see" list.

First episode has 5 million views. That's super impressive! I've now added it to my watch later, but methinks my oldest should probably watch the movie first.

My spouse and I are at episode 7.

And they announced season 2 will be made.

We love the show so far!

EDIT : Watched Ep8...

We just started watching this, and am 5 episodes in - Man this is great!

I am struggling though to find any reviews on the other Youtube Original shows - anyone have any recommendations? Or can point me to a thread? Cheers!

Haven't seen it but I here Impulse is good. Kid finds out she has super powers type show.

Yeah - I've been eyeing Impulse and Origins both, but haven't had a chance to watch either yet.
