Critic Reviews
Matt Fowler from IGN explains how the series is getting a little bit repetitive after 5 seasons, yet it has the ability to surprise you. ¨ Five seasons into Cobra Kai, and there’s a definite pattern at play, though it still has room for twists and turns.¨
He continues by stating how the finale turned out differently in contrast to the character’s decision. ¨There’s just a moment of very poor decision-making on the part of our heroes that feels like it should lead them down a much different path than it does,” typed Fowler.
“The series seems unsure of itself as Season 5 rounds the final base and things get wrapped up cleaner than expected,¨ typed Fowler.
Germaine Lussier from Gizmodo describes how nostalgia from the Karate Kid reseonates in Cobra Kai. “The finale of season 5 was the best episode of Cobra Kai ever,” typed Lussier.
“The culmination of every Karate Kid fan’s dreams. Top to bottom action, suspense, character development, all while pushing the narrative to new and surprising places,¨ typed Lussier.
My Opinion
While I do recommend the show for people who love teen dramas, the show is really made for people who watched the 4 original Karate Kid movies as the show is its sequel.
Season 5 not only incorporates Karate Kid, but also combines the characters from the last 4 seasons. Unlike other shows, the villains from previous seasons don’t disappear; they are incorporated in a new way.
Cobra Kai Season 5 has already surpassed all of my expectations, somehow combining all the other seasons without being repetitive.
