The collection first debuted on YouTube and rapidly gained reputation. It was acquired by Netflix in June final 12 months. It has already been renewed for a fourth season.
Rogerebert.com’s Nick Allen wrote in his assessment, “Even with its flaws in season three, Cobra Kai hasn’t just honored the Karate Kid way of storytelling, but mastered it.”
Slashfilm’s Rafael Motamayor opined, “In an age of reboots and sequels, Cobra Kai continues to make the case that there are still ways to recycle 40-year-old characters and stories and make them feel fresh, timely, and necessary.”
Daily Telegraph’s Ed Power talked about in his assessment, “Sounds bleak yet Cobra Kai has a spring in its step. While it acknowledges its characters’ emotional pain, it never labours the point.”
AV Club’s Alex McLevy famous, “Season three pummels you with enough broad laughs and over-the-top twists to keep you coming back to its televised dojo, no matter how often it backslides into hokum.”

Entertainment Weekly’s Darren Franich opined, “A high energy showdown for youth in revolt, alongside a never-more-sensitive portrayal of middle-aged reminiscence. It reaffirms Cobra Kai as one of the cleverest reboots in our nostalgia-drunk era.”
Cobra Kai Season 3 debuted on Netflix on January 1.
