    This show is an R for REDUNDANT.

    Everyone just does the same thing over and over, again most of the episodes

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

    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.

    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.

    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.
