I just spent this last weekend with my wife binge watching Netflix’s latest hit series, ‘Cobra Kai’.
As a person who grew up in the 1980s, this show brought back a lot of fond, and some not so great memories from my childhood.
This series stays true to the original ‘Karate Kid’ movie franchise, and even uses footage from those films. Some of the scenes and dialogue are identical and reminiscent of the original franchise to pay homage to the series’ roots.
If a person has never seen those iconic 80s movies, this series will still be easy to follow, as it gives many flashback scenarios to provide the audience with the context of the current predicaments.
