What is Cobra Kai all about?
The series is a sequel to the original Karate Kid film series from the 1980s. The focus of this film series was Daniel LaRusso, a young teenager in a city near Los Angeles who was described by his master “Mr. Miyagi. “LaRusso ultimately has to fight another martial artist, Johnny Lawrence. He is a member of the Cobra Kai Dojo in the first Karate Kid film. At the height of that film, LaRusso defeats Lawrence in a match at the All-Valley Karate Tournament.
The Cobra Kai series takes place in the present day Lawrence, now in his fifties, has lost his fortune and LaRusso has become a successful auto salesman. Lawrence then encounters a bullied teenager and fends off the attackers. The teenager asks Lawrence to teach him martial arts and that leads him to reopen the Cobra Kai Dojo. The series shows the new conflicts between Lawrence and LaRusso, who opens his own dojo.
Ralph Macchio and William Zabka repeat their roles from the Karate Kid film series as LaRusso and Lawrence. The show itself is a mix of drama and comedy, with the theme that adults cannot let go of their past.

This was Google’s attempt to launch a service that would compete more directly with Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and other premium subscription services. People could watch the show if they paid for a YouTube Premium subscription (formerly known as YouTube Red).
The series was a huge hit, and YouTube actually approved production for a third season. However, a few months later, Google decided to get out of the business of TV shows with original scripts.
