Aussie boy's thoughts
To say the least, the fifth season of Cobra Kai is totally frickin awesome! Over the course of one season, so much exciting ideas are brought to life and it’s an extremely entertaining and highly-anticipating story of rivalry between the karate dojos. The actors, both young and grown-up, are all really good, providing some good chemistry between the characters. The storytelling structure is done perfectly, especially when the episode is jumping between different events going on at once. There’s lots of tough attitudes and toxic bullying between teens separated from the different karate dojos, just as there always will be with this series. But undeniably the best thing about this series is how things stir up really well, leading up to an unbelievably exciting and popcorn-worthy last episode, with some shocking plot twists! Despite being more violent and course, Cobra Kai has done the job of making you care for the protagonists and that’s why it’s nearly perfect and the best season yet!
