Best of the Best

Surely there is no nepotism in the USA.

If even in karate schools, instead of choosing the best, they sabotage each other and have petty rivalries, what can you expect from such a society?

The show is really great, clearly, but for this episode, I can only give it 8/10. It seems like they cut a lot from the story and left the plot hanging, especially at the end of the episode.

I don't want to give spoilers, but I can't wait for the next 5 episodes to come out.

And by the way, I bet the sequel will be set in college. :)

Really good acting from this season start and i am expecting to be better and better until the end of the season. ;)

I love Cobra Kai, but it definitely peaked third season. Everything after that was pretty good but this is horrid. I called every plot point an episode before it happened, plot holes are almost unlimited, and it's just repeating storylines. I'm genuinely getting tired of Netflix butchering things this bad. The only redeeming hope will be stranger things 5. Now it did have some okay parts which is why I gave it a six, but this series is starting to over stay its welcome. I hate that it has to go but it's looking bad from here on out. I also have to say that we already know the winner, and that's how bad this is.

Like each and every time , with each and every season this series is perfect, awesome and superb. The character development is superb, the pace of story is superb and the acting of leads also superb.

A different kind of nostalgia we can feel while watching this show. The character of jhony is like anything a bod boy learning everyday and trying to be the best and win the past battle in present.. Also the character of john kreese is pretty adamant and rude which has its own attraction.

The difference in between the thinking process of teens and elders can easily be understood after watching tbe show. M need of money, importance of getting settled in life on right time and the importance of mentor is the essence of this show.

Director is capable, story writer has plan and actors have skills and execution to fulfill all needs.. One word superb..

Cobra Kai is now starting it's last lap after a marathon run but has annoyingly been split it up into three parts. I was surprised by this final run as I genuinely thought the last season was it all wrapped up, but the producers clearly feel they can squeeze more out of it. So how was this part one of three of this extended final season? Unlike many other self styled online media commentators, I very much loved it and very much looking forward to the forthcoming installments.

This is clearly a show that is tying up all the loose ends, with friendships, relationships, work and post-school thoughts at the forefront. Then there is the hidden menace of Kreese! There's still much to ponder as well as a new mystery, and yes some characters go back to being at each others throats despite old hatchets being buried.

The show retains its humour with the long suffering Amanda Larusso as bewildered as ever on being stuck in this 'Twilight Zone'. This has been a slow burn of a season, and is the better for it. Johnny Lawrence is to be a dad but remains immature whilst Danny Larusso is still not as balanced as he thinks he is. Yet we all still love the emotional ride.

The stunning thing is that this show has retained it's quality in writing and humour. There aren't many series in the past generation or two which have maintained as high a standard as this. Give or take some ropey moments, the show managed to just get back on track and keep us hooked.

Show started really good, nostalgia, good character development, decent fights ...

The middle was okish, a bit too much Kreese (annoying af by this point) and the fake drama to keep things interesting is tiresome.

The writers are very bad, the script barely makes sense.

Don't want to spoil the episode , but at this point it's begining to be a drag.

Was really hoping for a good ending, maybe the international event will be more interesting.

The show is all over the place with what it's trying to "teach" or "prove". The only interesting character was Johnny, but even he is a bit repetitive now.
