What to Know

Critics Consensus

While Cobra Kai's subversive kick no longer carries the same gleeful impact of its inaugural season, its second round is still among the best around -- no amount of mid-life crisis and teenage ennui's ever gonna keep it down.

Hanh Nguyen IndieWire The series remains entertaining despite its flaws, and fortunately it has a hero that negotiates this disconnect between retro mindset and contemporary consciousness. Rated: B- Dec 9, 2019 Full Review Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly Cobra Kai remains more entertaining and well-executed than it has any right to be. Rated: B+ Apr 26, 2019 Full Review Brian Lowry CNN.com Season 2 of the YouTube series is, if anything, better than the first -- a teen soap, largely, which also packs a wryly nostalgic kick. Apr 26, 2019 Full Review Nicolas Soto But Why Tho? A Geek Community I really enjoyed watching the first two seasons of Cobra Kai. The show has a definite sense of nostalgia but doesn’t heavily rely on it to affect the entire plot. Rated: 9/10 Jan 22, 2023 Full Review Audrey Fox We Live Entertainment While this season lacks some of the raw charm of the first, it's nonetheless a satisfying continuation of the increasingly fascinating karate saga. Aug 28, 2021 Full Review Fausto Ponce Alta Fidelidad Magazine One of the Cobra Kai series' great successes is undoubtedly the relationship established between teacher and student. And in that same vein we must include the father and son dynamic. [Full review in Spanish] Mar 3, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Mr.Homebody#18 M The school fight is insane another great season Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/11/25 Full Review Jarom J The return of Kreese and the improvement of the students lives was great to watch. Couldn’t wait to see more. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/29/25 Full Review Max K Great continuation of the first season and well choreographed fight scenes. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/27/25 Full Review Preston K It isn’t just lame ass karate… it’s cobra kai Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/22/25 Full Review M B Builds on season 1 to fantastic effect! Amazing new characters and the best finale of any season! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/08/25 Full Review Audience Member A bit lacking in storytelling and writing compared to the other season, doesn't seem to have a coherent plot other than building tension between Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai. However the payoff carries it and makes it one of the most memorable seasons (but it should be noted that this "payoff" is the seasons only iconic moment) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/25 Full Review Read all reviews
