Man, what a journey Cobra Kai has been. The first two seasons were pure magic-an emotional rollercoaster that reignited everything I loved about The Karate Kid while somehow making it even better. It felt like coming home, but with a fresh perspective that made me see these characters in a whole new light. The way it balanced nostalgia with new storylines, the way it made me care about both the old rivalries and the new ones-it was perfect. Every episode left me wanting more, and I couldn't get enough.

Seasons 4 and 5? Still an absolute blast. Sure, the stakes got bigger, the fights got crazier, and some moments felt a little over-the-top, but that was part of the fun. Cobra Kai has always had this wild energy-this ability to make you laugh, pump your fist, and maybe even get a little choked up all in the same episode. And those seasons delivered on that front. Watching characters evolve, seeing unexpected alliances form, and getting those jaw-dropping fight scenes-it was everything I wanted.

Then came season 6. And look, I wanted to love it. I really did. But the way they split it into three mini-seasons made it feel like the show was just dragging itself to the finish line. There were still great moments, but it started to feel... bloated. Like it didn't know how to say goodbye. I kept waiting for that tight, emotional, satisfying buildup to a grand finale, but instead, it felt like the show was just stalling for time. Some storylines didn't need to be stretched out as much as they were, and some moments that should've hit hard just kind of lingered instead.

And even when we finally got to the last episode, it just kept going. The epilogue especially-it wasn't bad, but at that point, I was ready for the show to take a bow. Instead, it felt like it was desperately clinging on, afraid to let go. And that's what hurt the most. I didn't want Cobra Kai to end either, but I wanted it to end right. I wanted that gut-punch of a final episode, the kind that leaves you staring at the screen in silence, processing everything. Instead, it felt like it was trying to reassure us over and over again, dragging out the farewell so much that it lost some of its impact.

Don't get me wrong-I love this show. Even with its flaws, it gave me some of the most fun, emotional, and downright epic moments I've ever seen in a TV series. It brought back characters I grew up with and made me care about a whole new generation. It reminded me why I loved The Karate Kid in the first place, but it also became something special in its own right. That's why I wish the ending had been tighter, more confident.

So yeah, I'll always love Cobra Kai, and I'll probably rewatch it more times than I should. But I can't shake the feeling that if it had just wrapped things up a little more cleanly, if it had trusted itself to stick the landing without over-explaining, it could have been truly legendary.

This show started with an interesting premise and followed the Vince Gilligan formula.

Experiment with cinematography and direction.

Give the actors great dramatic scenes. Develop the supporting characters. Create a plot that is logical for the story and characters and let the story unfold by itself.

We sure got a lot of great scenes and episodes, none of them in this season though. This season felt aimless and meandering trying to wrap up a wrapped up story. While I remember a lot of scenes from the previous seasons I cannot recall anything significant from this season.

It is far from being unwatchable but it felt very boring in parts this season and the last few episodes did not have enough to make up for the season's shortcomings.
