      Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald This marvelous sequel series to The Karate Kid isn't just a huge suckerpunch of nostalgia for kids of the '80s. It's also a sharp, dry comedy of the kind we've come to expect these days Sep 30, 2020 Full Review Alex McLevy AV Club This could all fall apart pretty easily... but right now I like the harsh tone and unsparing assessment of misguided men stumbling into something bigger than either of them. Dec 22, 2018 Full Review Danette Chavez AV Club I struggled with the premise of middle-aged white dudes reigniting their rivalry, but while I doubt I'll binge the first season, my interest has definitely been piqued. Dec 22, 2018 Full Review Elisa Guimarães Collider More often than not, the show’s storylines get more repetitive than a kata lesson -- but we still love it. Feb 1, 2024 Full Review Fausto Ponce Alta Fidelidad Magazine It's funny, clever and has the necessary dramatic elements to come up with something moving, without losing sight of its comedic essence. [Full review in Spanish] Apr 27, 2021 Full Review Sarah Knight Adamson Sarah's Backstage Pass Builds on the challenges faced by the original characters Johnny Lawrence, played by William Zabka, and Daniel LaRusso, played by Ralph Macchio.

      Santino P The best start of a series, without a doubt this tremendous masterpiece has it, good characters, tremendous actors, and impeccable dubbing, the development of the characters is spectacular, if you are looking for action, development and depth the beginning of this legendary series is for you. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/19/24 Full Review Fetti Mixes nostalgia, teen drama and action thrills in humorous, loveable first season. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/24 Full Review Nyah P This was so hard to get into. The first couple of episodes—let's be honest—suck. It starts slowly getting better each episode and it does pay off during the season finale. It is a very entertaining show to watch but some episodes lack plot and it's very predictable. There is some diversity but it mainly focuses on white characters with the exception of a young Latinx boy(Miguel). The second season is a lot better so I would say watch it, don't miss out, but don't expect something crazy good from it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/27/23 Full Review Brodie I Complete and total badass. Must for any 80's peeps or people who love karate kid. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/28/23 Full Review letaiser Love the Tv show it had all the characters reunited again Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/13/23 Full Review Tiago S A volta de Karatê Kid, e isso em uma série que ainda estou assistindo, produzida pela Netflix mostra depois de anos como os dois garotos prodígios estão e como suas vidas iriam se entrelaçar entre brigas e batalhas, um rico bem sucedido outro com uma vida destroçada sendo rejeitado pelo filho, mas com muita garra Johnny monta sua escola de Karatê para poder competir e claro isso irritaria seu adversário mortal o Daniel que está disposto a tudo para boicotá-lo Senti uma falta dessa sensação de séries mais inocentes, sem muito sexo e que trazia uma ideia antiga mas renovada, e isso Cobra Kai fez muito bem, usando cores como bege, verde escuro, branco, mas isso não é o foco da série embora sejam cores comuns, traz um balance na medida que o título se propõe, o que é mesmo interessante são os atletas e suas evoluções como pessoa e habilidades como atleta, como Miguel Diaz (Xolo Maridueña) que começou querendo se defender dos valentões e terminando sendo um dos melhores lutadores do grupo, Aisha (Nicole Brown) e Eli (Jacob Bertrand) ambos que começaram mais na deles com o medo os consumindo só que conseguiram sair disso com a ajuda de Johnny, o professor. Acredito que foi um bom começo já mostrando as competições, aceleram bem para 10 episódios, e passou rápido pois o roteiro é simples e nos cativa não sei se essa foi o motivo de fazê-lo só sei que funcionou, com uma única crítica creio que o discurso segue os mesmos roteiros adolescentes de estereótipos de patricinha, valentão, oprimido sofrendo bullying, mas o que não tem de comum é um ensinamento de como eles vão enfrentar os seus desafios com consciência e com defesa pessoal.
