Critics Consensus

Cobra Kai still delights in a fourth season that mines great fun from shifting alliances, chiefly the uneasy truce between Johnny Lawrence and Daniel LaRusso.

This is a show in which adults have serious conversations that include the phrase "karate war." Even so, Zabka's superb performance is unassailable, and Maridueña and Buchanan have each leveled up as actors.

3/4

It's all quite ridiculous and always entertaining, and as usual, the season ends with some heavy dramatics.

This season of Cobra Kai delivers a dark, thrilling, complex, and funny end to the franchise, even if it opens the door to more stories.

4/5

This season, while not perfect (I could’ve done without a certain pointless cameo, and wished more time had been devoted to fleshing out certain relationships between the teenagers) is an absolute blast from start to finish

"This is one thing Cobra Kai does increasingly well: by bringing in even more reprehensible characters each season, it gives the previous Big Bad something to play off of"

The best season of Cobra Kai. Was for sure the most focused and has some of the best fights and character development in the entire series. Hawk versus Robby in the All Valley was peak!

**Cobra Kai Season 4 (74%)** – This one’s a nostalgia-fueled, roundhouse-kicking blast. Johnny and Daniel teaming up? Chaotic bromance gold. The dojo rivalry hits new highs (and lows), with teen drama, epic training montages, and enough 80’s callbacks to make a VHS tape blush. Terry Silver slithers back in, bringing his signature mix of charm and menace, and suddenly Cobra Kai feels *really* dangerous again. The season juggles heart, humor, and flying fists like a black belt circus act. Not perfect, but damn entertaining – think teen soap meets martial arts opera, with a synth soundtrack and a mullet or two.

With the Return of Silver and the Combining of Dojo’s It made watching even more interesting to watch.

Great season. The series managed to bring iconic villains and make characters, apparently without personality (Robby Keene) into a true talent.
