Although it meandered a bit on its way to the finale, I still ended the 10th episode feeling like the show had been reborn. Read full review

Cobra Kai season four nicely continues the journeys of our favorite (and only) Valley karate fanatics, delivering fun along with impressively high kicks, moments of true emotion, and just enough stunted development to keep it all spinning. Read full review

Cobra Kai might not be the best show on TV, but few appear to have more fun playing with their formats, as this "Karate Kid" revival. Read full review

Quite a few storylines are dropped or not completely followed through on, though, which really stands out when you can stream all 10 episodes back to back. ... But despite my quibbles, I still love Cobra Kai. The show is such an enjoyable romp. I’m happy to spend time with the characters and their karate-loving world no matter how inane the story lines might be. Read full review

Cobra Kai is still a good deal of fun. ... The fear is that the show’s starting to lose sight of its central lesson: Perhaps it’s best not to obsess over the past, as it can lead you to neglect the present. Right now, the show exists in a liminal state between depiction and endorsement, and if it’s not careful, it can slip off the tightrope far too easily. Read full review

It’s all quite ridiculous and always entertaining, and as usual, the season ends with some heavy dramatics — and the tease of yet another blast from the past destined to make a major impact next time around. Read full review

The Daily Beast Nick Schager

Cobra Kai’s overt nostalgia is of a simplistic dudebro variety, marked by Johnny’s neanderthal attitude and routine references to the likes of Rocky III, Bloodsport and Top Gun. Yet more objectionable is its regressive sitcom form, which reduces its comedy and romantic/familial/peer dilemmas to a fourth-grade level. For a season or two, that might have lent the show a quaint charm. At this point, however, it’s just a sign of everlasting immaturity. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. By the time season 3 rolled around, everyone had the feeling Cobra Kai would eventually outlive itself and water itself out. Somehow, instead of overstaying it’s welcome, Cobra Kai season 4 now gives us a perfect reason as towards why it’s the best TV show right now. Multiple interesting plot lines, Terry Silvers joker like descendant into madness, The Kenny-Young Daniel role reversal, The conflict between Johnny and Daniel, and the best finale that tops season 2. Effortless acting on the performers part, fantastic and the best camera work since the shows debut, the best music score since the shows debut, everything goes right. This season ties every single season together in fantastic form. I can’t wait for season 5.… Expand

Daniel and Johnny attempt to work together to defeat Cobra Kai, who now have a new sensei of their own.

As with past seasons Cobra Kai continues to make a few missteps (some of the conflicts just feel forced at this point), but it still has that 80’s charm and knowing sense of humour thatDaniel and Johnny attempt to work together to defeat Cobra Kai, who now have a new sensei of their own.

Great show that doesn't forget to have fun. It has a lot of heart--something missing from many shows today. That said, it does have weaker episodes in there around the halfway point. It seems like a different writer takes over for a little while with some strange forced political messagesGreat show that doesn't forget to have fun. It has a lot of heart--something missing from many shows today. That said, it does have weaker episodes in there around the halfway point. It seems like a different writer takes over for a little while with some strange forced political messages during those few episodes. That or the guy with the clipboard turned up... Luckily, they then remember we're here for entertainment, and the show ends on a high.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First seasson was perfect, second was good! third was "meh" and forth is utter garbage, i struggle a lot to finish the pain of see all the chapters, one more boring than the other, starting with kenny, the worst character, worst acted and forced into the series, then moon's ex-girlfriend and all the characters forced into the series, of which you can't empathize with any of them, and the worst of all sensei "Terry Silver" is the most over-acted character. Honestly I went from love to hate with this series, Larusso's son a bully? who wrote the script for the fourth season? monkeys? Boring, repetitive, bad acted... terrible from chapter 1 to the tournament..… Expand
