    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link 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.. Full Review »

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. Full Review »

    Yeah, the nostalgia is worth watching...but other than a few of Johnny, Samantha and Tory's scenes..I think four seasons is enough
