One of the best parts about Cobra Kai are the characters. You’ll love every single character in the show. There are rivalries, backstories, and much more! In 1984, LaRusso was your hero, in Cobra Kai Season 1, Johnny will be your hero, and in Season 2, you’ll see that they’re just two guys with different viewpoints. Johnny’s Cobra Kai is different than Kreese’s for sure. There are many other great characters as well, like Miguel, he is a true underdog story, Robby, who is trying to have another chance at his life, Sam, the daughter of Daniel and a spoiled brat, Tory, a girl who comes from a poor family and doesn’t take no for an answer, Hawk, a once bullied kid who becomes the coolest kid you've ever met, and much more.
Another great thing about Cobra Kai is how it is so true to the Karate Kid movies. There are many scenes from Karate Kid it shows, a lot of the concepts are the same, and they bring back a lot of things.
Overall, Cobra Kai is an amazing series, and I recommend it to anyone.
