About Season 5 of ‘Cobra Kai’
Nina Metz of the Chicago Tribune said viewers should “embrace the cheese,” and Nerd Reactor’s John Nguyen called Season 5 “crazy, bigger, and wild.” One audience member said the show transported him back to his childhood, providing viewers with an escape from today’s turmoil.
The show debuted on YouTube, where it ran for three seasons before ceasing production of original scripted programming, before being picked up by Netflix in 2020. Season 4 premiered on December 31, 2021, and it received over 120,000,000 million hours of viewing in its first week, according to Netflix.
Each season introduces new heroes and villains from the original Karate Kid trilogy, which debuted in theatres in 1984. The original, which has an 82% audience score and an 89% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, was praised by critics such as Robert Ebert, who had low expectations for the film.
In 1984, Ebert wrote, “I was completely wrong.” “The Karate Kid was one of 1984’s pleasant surprises: an exciting, sweet-tempered, heartwarming story featuring one of the most intriguing friendships in a long time.”
