Season 5 Review
‘Cobra Kai’, which just returned to Netflix, has reached Season 5, an accomplishment even its creators might be surprised to see.The series, which continues the story from 'The Karate Kid' movies (the first three, at least), has become one of Netflix’s most entertaining titles, walking the line between camp and cult comedy drama, all while finding new ways to explore its various characters.
We’re a long way from where we started – the show kicked off by catching up with rivals Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) 30 years since the events of the ‘Karate’ movies. While Daniel is a happily married, settled and slightly smug owner of several car lots, Johnny is down on his luck, the former bully now making ends meet in a crappy apartment building where he’s also the manager.
Their reunion was far from peaceful, the old resentments bubbling to the surface once more as Johnny looked to restart the Cobra Kai dojo to help get his life back on track
