I'm a 40-year-old woman who grew up relentlessly watching the Karate Kid films. Needless to say, this show has been an extraordinary treat - even for us middle-agers.
I'd also have to say that the writing has greatly improved throughout the series. Although the fight scenes occasionally feel a bit choreographed and some of the "bullying" are theatrical, Season 3 has never been more magical. Cobra Kai has stayed true to its Karate Kid alumni's by bringing back a number of familiar faces from the original trilogy. These were not simply recast actors, either - but the original members who portrayed each character. Of course, this was a wonderful way to combine the spectrum of fans from different ages...particularly us older ones who related to many of these characters when we were still children.
Keep it coming, Cobra Kai! I have never enjoyed a more exciting series!!!
