Cobra Kaiis that it’s really good. The Netflix show picks up Karate Kid nearly 35 years after the crane kick that defined a generation. Ralph Macchio’s Daniel LaRusso is a family man with a string of successful car dealerships in southern California; William Zabka’s Johnny Lawrence has an estranged son, a dependence on Coors Banquet, and a life in free fall—until he meets Miguel, a bullied teenager who inspires him to reopen Cobra Kai, the karate dojo famous for “no mercy.” When the lives of Daniel and Johnny collide again, you’re not sure whom to root for. With season three hitting Netflix on January 1, Esquire Zoomed with Macchio, 59, and Zabka, 55, from their homes on Long Island and in Los Angeles, respectively. Zabka arrived in—what else—shades fit for Johnny Lawrence.
