What does it take for Netflix to keep a show going? An awful lot, but in the case of Cobra Kai it looks like four Emmy nominations (Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Sound Editing for a Comedy, Outstanding Stunt Performance, and Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy) will suffice.
Although there are some notable exceptions (Orange is the New Black, House of Cards, Grace and Frankie), Netflix kills its babies almost as quickly as it makes them, its original content graveyard is full of shows that never even reached their third season. Although Cobra Kai did originally start on YouTube (YouTube Red, even), it has found a new home with Netflix and has thrived with the streaming giant.
