Why Cobra Kai Never Should Have Worked

When Cobra Kai was first announced as a YouTube Original, most fans of the original Karate Kid weren't sure how to react. Cobra Kai wasn't something people were expecting, and being on YouTube Red made it all the more confusing. Though after two seasons of shockingly good TV, a cancellation, being picked up by Netflix, and entering it's 6th season, it's easy to say Cobra Kai exceeded all expectations for Karate Kid Fans. But how exactly did a show like Cobra Kai even get to the point of Karate Kid fandom?
