Cobra Kai
When Cobra Kai first premiered to YouTube in 2018, no
one expected the throwback martial arts drama to have an
impact. But, surprisingly, it did. Just three years
after YouTube Red (now YouTube
Premium) launched, providing a slate of original
scripted programming to compete with big-time streamers
like Netflix and Hulu, the platform hit it
big with its nostalgic return to the world of The
Karate Kid. Now, the first two seasons of
Cobra Kai are hopping over to Netflix on August 28, and
the streamer is producing a third season to hit the
platform sometime in 2021. Cobra Kai scored an
impressive 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes
when it first premiered, which is an accomplishment unto
itself, let alone for a video platform widely known for
its massive library of user generated content.

Rick And Morty Season 4
Dark, zany, quick witted dialogue within consistently
original plot lines drives this masterfully creative
sci-fi/ comedy to previously unscaled heights. Rick is
an old, mad scientist who lives with his daughter's
family. He moves in and instantly bonds with his teenage
grandson. Morty is a shy boy who is often embarrassed
and filled with panic over ordinary situations. Rick
will often show up at Morty's school and drag the boy
off for a crazy, zany adventure. In their very first
escapade, Rick brings Morty to another dimension where
they must bring back a seed from a very special tree.
Another adventure brings Morty and Rick into an
Inception themed dream world where they try to influence
Morty's teach into giving him a good grade.
