“Cobra Kai,” a Netflix original tv series, is all about karate and teenagers fighting their life battles out with karate. The first season of the show dropped on Netflix on May 2, 2018. It is also based on the original film.
“Cobra Kai” has 5 full seasons and half of season 6. The second part of season 6 comes out November 15, 2024. This season is the finale of the show. Each of these episodes run for about 35 minutes each and a lot of plot twists. It is also based on the original film ¨The Karate Kid.¨ It starts out with the main character Xolo Maridueña (Miguel) getting bullied at school and his 2 nerd friends Eli Moskowitz played by ( Jacob Bertrand) and Demetri Alexopoulos. Finally Miguel gets sick of being bullied and gets into karate with former Cobra Kai member Johnny Lawrence. He is Johnny’s first student in his class, then Miguel got more of the people. Eventually Daniel Larusso, former karate student for Mr. Miyagi. He was rivals with Johnny because they fought in high school and their dojos were against each other and the students in it. That is how this show unravels into such a deeper story.
One important impact on this show is when Kreese comes back to Cobra Kai to team up with Johnny, then ruins everything and immediately is public enemy number one. Eventually Johnny realizes Sensei Kreese is teaching the kids to fight with anger and Cobra Kai gets stronger. Meanwhile, Daniel and Johnny teamup their dojos and become one to beat Cobra Kai in the All-Valley tournament. They want to defeat Cobra Kai because the students that go to that dojo bully other kids and push people around and also try to start fights.
Something else that is very entertaining about this show is the drama going on. Tory (Peyton List) and Miguel started to date. Robby Kene (Tanner Buchanan) and Samantha Larusso, Daniel Larusso’s daughter, also date. Then one night they all went to the same end of summer party with their separate dojos. Then Tory catches Miguel and Sam kiss. She was nowhere to be found after the party, and she wasn’t at school at first, so they thought. The morning announcements were on the first day of school, and Tory breaks in the room and tells Samantha she is coming for her. But when they started fighting it caused the whole school to start fighting, including Robby and Miguel fighting after what Robby found out. This causes Robby to push Miguel over the stairwell and put him in a coma.
Taking all of this into consideration, “Cobra Kai” is highly recommended for people 13 and up who enjoy drama shows and karate battles.
