By pairing its emotional punches with stronger humor, Cobra Kai's third season finds itself in fine fighting form.

Sheer ridiculousness and the ingenious stroke of elevating Johnny's role have been central to the program's appeal, and thanks to the deft writing, even the over-the-top moments are generally fun.

One: immediately after finishing season three, I rewatched it despite all of my qualms. Two: I desperately want to know when to expect season four. Three: COBRA KAI NEVER DIES.

This is a fantastic season and I think it's really underrated among fans. Everything with Kreese's backstory was amazing, the fights were awesome and the finale was incredible!

Great season. The characters have matured in terms of skills. In addition, the series has explored its antagonists and villains better.
