Critics

Audience

Thirty years after the All Valley Karate Tournament, this sequel series follows Johnny Lawrence as he reopens the infamous Cobra Kai dojo in search of redemption. That move reignites an old rivalry with Daniel LaRusso, who tries to keep balance in his life while navigating mentorship and the next generation’s training.

My take

Not for you if you want a light, straightforward karate story without drama-heavy soap moments or if you dislike controversial tonal shifts; it may suit fans of The Karate Kid vibe like 24 or Lethal Weapon.
