Cobra Kai doesn’t live in the past; instead it hits viewers with bursts of nostalgia endorphins, leaving us giddy and defenseless against the next emotional wallop. ... Cobra Kai remains more entertaining and well-executed than it has any right to be.

Season 2 of the YouTube series is, if anything, better than the first -- a teen soap, largely, which also packs a wryly nostalgic kick.

Still reeling from that crazy finale, but overall this was a superb follow-up to season one. The characters just keep growing, and the story is constantly engaging. I'm just so glad I caught up in time for season three's premiere this Friday (and based on the trailer, it looks like this story is just going to keep going in interesting directions). Probably one of my top three favorite shows right now.

Flawed as this second round may be, “Cobra Kai” remains worthwhile viewing with a slew of conversation starters, though perhaps not the ones that made the series worth recommending the first time around. But it remains entertaining enough to merit a sequel, even if only to find out whose way wins out in the end.

One could wax on (wax off) about these representation issues, but the show’s strength is also its weakness. “Cobra Kai” is simply too accurately a product of that specific ‘80s franchise. Sure, it could change, but why should it? The series remains entertaining despite its flaws, and fortunately it has a hero that negotiates this disconnect between retro mindset and contemporary consciousness.

Season two is content to repeat many, or even most, of the beats from the first season, only without the freshness and genre-upending sense of surprise. The second season of Cobra Kai is too much of the same made with the expectation that the series can be an underdog forever.

It’s not until the second-to-last episode that anything approaching the goofball charm and wit of its freshman season arrives, and by then the entire narrative is so weighed down with the baggage of its sudsy dramatics that the show feels less like a witty relaunch of a beloved film, and more like a 2019 version of Beverly Hills, 90210 (but not, you know, the 2019 version of Beverly Hills, 90210), complete with hokey music sequences and soap opera-level plotting.

There was a pleasantly surprising window where Cobra Kai felt like it was retelling those old stories in a new enough way. The novelty’s gone by now, though.

I was afraid, really afraid that season 2 would be a complete failure, due to the High expectations. It would be also very normal, happens to a lot of shows... but.. to my surprise, it was not only a success, it also brought much more inside, and it was even a bit darker. Me, who is in the Film business, know exactly what fiction is and what not, but to say, that i felt in love COMPLETELY with the Cast, showed me that the writers, producers, etc, knew what they were doing. And I am so thankful for it. We live in a Television Era, with a lot of high quality images, but very low story/script, and I am so pissed that they are creating constantly failures, and that they cancel shows, on and on, but with this Season 2, they gave me peace "inner Peace", and showed me, that you can make television with a high quality in Story. Thanks for that. The bad point, I guess, lol, I need to wait AGAIN, another whole year.. because the Ending, was far more than just a cliffhanger... :p

It was ok. Really liked the first season. Do you remember Karate Kid 2 or 3? I don’t. This season 2 is a kin to the sequels. It isn’t bad it just is exciting. Stingray was entertaining.

The feeling after finishing second season was... sadness and unsatisfied need of ….something that I cannot fully grasp. But something was missing. The last fight was not only violent and bitter but also unrealistic. It seems to me that the show was short on something very much needed and full of something completely unwanted. I can't name it but the feeling is... that "This season went wrong" . Not liked : -The love triangle (too much soap opera), -Daniel not admitting that they (and mostly him) **** things up - The feeling that nothing led to nothing

S2 makes me question why the hell I liked S1 so much. Its that bad. Instead of interesting character arcs we get boring teen soap opera crap. It feels like a bad 90's Hallmark movie crossed with a Disney film. They really dumbed it down and tried to make it as accessible as possible to the mainstream. Any hint of an edge to the narrative is gone and its so PG13 and cheesey beyond belief. I struggled to make it through 5 eps before I threw in the towel.
