Cobra Kai
Cobra Kai is technically not a 2020 tv show as seasons one and two were available on YouTube Premium. However, since Netflix acquired the series last year, I think this show belongs on the list.
Seeing Ralph Macchio and William Zabka reprise their roles from The Karate Kid franchise is a treat. Zabka is legitimately fantastic as the cursing, drunk and down on his luck Johnny Lawrence. Showrunners Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg do an outstanding job paying homage to the three main Karate Kid films. There’s isn’t another reboot on tv or in film that utilizes flashback better than Cobra Kai.
The teenage cast does a solid job. There are some fun character arcs, great twists and ludicrously entertaining fight sequences.
Cobra Kai’s status as the best reboot makes it a worth addition to the best 2020 tv shows list.
Cobra Kai is currently streaming on Netflix.
