Cobra Kai: Season 5: Review

Easily their best, as it sets up the final season!

The story line this season had so much heart to it, and had a lot of twists that I was not expecting! I am so glad that it looks like they have resolved the drama between a lot of the characters going forward. I was so glad that they focused on Daniel's rivalry with Terry, and didn't put the teenage drama front and center. The pacing in this show was very well done also!

Character development wise, I was impressed. The way the shows writes these characters always surprises me, mainly because of how unpredictable it is. Mike Barnes was the best example of this! I expected him to be a bad guy, but I loved the twist with his character. I really hope that they keep this up going into next season.

Once again, the acting was amazing! The standouts this season were Yuji Okumoto as Chozen, and Thomas Ian Griffith as Terry Silver. Martin Kove and Sean Kanan, while having limited screen time, absolutely nailed it as John Kreese and Mike Barnes. I really hope that Mike returns for a bigger role next season! Once again, the actors playing the teenagers did great jobs! William Zabka and Ralph Macchio also did great jobs again this season.

The action scenes were again some of the best action scenes on Tv. The standout fights this season were Robby Vs Miguel, Terry Silver Vs Daniel LaRusso (Apartment Fight), Terry Silver Vs Chozen, and the egg fight involving Chozen and the kids. Well done!

In terms of their last season, there is a lot I hope to see! Some of the things involve a fight between Terry Silver and John Kreese, the return of Johnny's friends (Including Dutch), the return of Julie Pierce, and Kreese taking back control of Cobra Kai. So excited to see what they have planned!

Out of 100% I would give it...

99% out of 100%
