00:00:00.780 --> 00:00:04.000
Does Cobra Kai strike hard and show no mercy?

00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:11.280
Well, it certainly follows the way of the fist.

00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:12.580
"The girl's a natural Cobra."

00:00:12.580 --> 00:00:18.450
This fun but edgy series reboots the '80s
Karate Kid story with present-day Daniel LaRusso

00:00:18.450 --> 00:00:21.700
and Johnny Lawrence reigniting their old rivalry.

00:00:21.700 --> 00:00:22.820
"You want to finish this?!"

00:00:24.180 --> 00:00:24.880
"Bring it on."

00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:31.080
Not only does the show have vintage stars,
it has lots of old-school-style violence too.

00:00:31.080 --> 00:00:35.300
We're talking fighting in the ring, on the
streets, and frequent bullying.

00:00:35.300 --> 00:00:39.180
There's no blood, but characters
often hit first and talk later.

00:00:40.180 --> 00:00:44.880
There's also lots of swearing and sex talk,
scenes of a character guzzling alcohol at

00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:48.930
home and while driving, plus teen drinking and vaping.

00:00:48.930 --> 00:00:54.710
Peppered into the sometimes mean-spirited drama are messages about redemption and the value of hard work.

00:00:54.710 --> 00:00:56.900
"You have the potential to be better than I ever was."

00:00:57.380 --> 00:01:01.500
Common Sense says Cobra Kai
is OK for teens 15 and up.

00:01:01.500 --> 00:01:07.320
