Cobra Kai Season 5 is a showcase of the best elements of the series, despite a bit of roughness around the edges. The latest installment features some big laughs and impressive fights but also sheds a light on what's to come without feeling like it's just a set-up for the next season.

Crossing the streams with its sequels, the fifth season of "Cobra Kai" features heavy dollops of the second and third "The Karate Kid" movies while continue to carve out its own next-generation melodrama, all in extraordinarily nimble fashion. While it's not the best series on TV (OK, Netflix), there should be some kind of prize for the best revival culled from limited source material.

This is the best show I think I have ever seen, and I didn't even grow up with the karate kid films. one scene will have me crying, another laughing, another cheering. It is like the exact opposite of Disney Star Wars - this is actually fun. I want more shows and films from the Miyagi-Verse!

Call-backs to the movie are as ample as fans would demand. At the same time, the show refuses to wallow in the past, preferring to drag it screaming into the present. Cobra Kai will continue to thrill Eighties kids. But it is no museum piece and viewers insufficiently ancient to appreciate the totemic significance of phrases such as “wax on/wax off” will still get kick from it.

The finale points toward an endgame. And that finale is wonderful, wonderful, ridiculous, and wonderful: A high energy showdown for youth in revolt, alongside a never-more-sensitive portrayal of middle-aged reminiscence. It reaffirms Cobra Kai as one of the cleverest reboots in our nostalgia-drunk era.

Even if Cobra Kai is a little too in love with its evocations of the movie, there is still something compelling about seeing Johnny and Daniel back together, particularly because both men haven’t changed in key ways and have different ways of grappling with and denying that.

This series has an underdog spirit of its own, even if it's not quite the triumphant crane kick it could be.

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.

One of the most badass shows of all time. It has a great cast and the second I saw the entire first season I just got into it so badly. Season 5 was the best in my opinion and I can't wait for season 6. The storytelling is also very phenomenal and I liked how it impressively connects to the older movies.

The performances from the mainline cast are great. Production is above average.
Writing is not good.
Woke trends and tropes taking priority over the story especially in S2 are really forced and ruin this.
6/10 at best for KK fans.

The glorification of fragile masculinity. The acting is subpar and one-note. The writing is lazy. Save yourself the time and watch the original Karate Kid.

Dawson's Creek with karate. I have friends who's opinions I respect that like this show for how bad it is. I can't get past the lame acting, lame storylines, the once original neat idea from eons ago turned into some dumb drawn out soap opera about high school drama. I really like when Daniel was looking for his daughter and she was at Johnny's house. Daniel was at the door asking for her. Johnny says "Yeah, she's here. Whats it to you?" Hahahaha, too good.
