Cobra Kai (2018–2025)
7/10
Stop at end of season 2
16 January 2021
The first two seasons were surprisingly entertaining and showed unexpected depth while throwing a spotlight on the modern world late teens grow up in. The karate was great too and reignited interest in the franchise 30 years later, something difficult to achieve.

But my god.... Season three is one giant jump the shark moment beyond belief. Ridiculous coincidences, shmultzy, badly scripted with characters constantly and non sensically switch sides, mixed in with rehashing of bits from season 2. Most of all, credibility of key plot points are ridiculous in season 3 and I'm almost inclined to stop watching to see what happens in season 4.

Damn shame. I'd give season 1 and 2 about 9 out of 10. Season 3 gets 3 out of 10, so my overall score is 7.

Do do watch season 1 and 2 if you haven't already. Then perhaps leave it there
