Cobra Kai season four nicely continues the journeys of our favorite (and only) Valley karate fanatics, delivering fun along with impressively high kicks, moments of true emotion, and just enough stunted development to keep it all spinning.
I was about to give up after season 3 but they really found the sweet spot for season 4. Best season so far. They're back to basic. Just good writing, good story arcs, good characters development. Nothing over the top.
Removing the brawl scenes was also a great decision.
Even the humor is back with Johnny Lawrence's as the in 80's guy character.
Quite a few storylines are dropped or not completely followed through on, though, which really stands out when you can stream all 10 episodes back to back. ... But despite my quibbles, I still love Cobra Kai. The show is such an enjoyable romp. I’m happy to spend time with the characters and their karate-loving world no matter how inane the story lines might be.
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.
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.
This show has been criminally underrated, ever since the day it has released. I've loved it since day 1. I was looking forward it since the day it was announced. I slowly became a superfan of this show, and easily became the best show I've ever seen. Bear in min, I've viewed Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, and the Walking Dead. This show beat's them all; by a lot. Just the way the story is told, the acting, and the comedy it works perfectly. I viewed Season 1-3 exactly 30 times. It's that good, and I've seen the newest Season already 3 times. The show's amazing. 10/10 is too low for quality of this level.
So glad they came out with this show. Love binge watching the show and it's awesome they have alot of the same people! Very smart and look forward to seeing more Seasons, just finished Season 4 and looking forward to Season 5!So glad they came out with this show.

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 **** other than a few of Johnny, Samantha and Tory's scenes..I think four seasons is enough
I was really looking forward to Cobra Kai season 4 and I must admit the first 4 or 5 episodes are pretty good. Then somewhere along the way the writing went downhill. The dialogue became cringeworthy and certain aspects were very phony and down right stupid. I won't spoil the plot but by the end I just wanted it to be over with. Was a big fan. Now? Not so much
