[RERUN] What is Cobra Kai?

If you’ve got Netflix, you’ve no doubt seen this series pop up in your recommendations more than once. All the more so given the fourth season just hit the platform on New Year’s Eve, adding to the 30 episodes which were already available. Well in order to really understand we should probably be asking “What is Karate Kid?”, as Cobra Kai is a direct sequel to the Karate Kid films which inspired a generation of kids to take up martial arts in the 1980s.
