Cobra Kai Season 5 all Reviews: 100% on Rotten Tomatoes?
Perri Nemiroff (YouTube)
“Team Cobra Kai does it again! Season 5 continues to show off an infectious charm and heart even as things intensify with the dojo war heading into darker territory.” Original Score: 4.5/5
John Nguyen (Nerd Reactor)
“[Cobra Kai Season 5] is crazy, bigger and wild.” Original Score: 5/5
Clint Worthington (Consequence)
“Cobra Kai Season 5 feels like a new era of the show, even as it carries many of the same problems that plagued its middle seasons.” Original Score: B
Kyle Pinion (The Beat)
“God, this is my favorite show on tv. Give me one more season, pretty please?”
Tessa Smith (Mama’s Geeky)
“This season does not hold back any punches! In fact, it solidifies itself as the best season yet with epic fights and shocking surprises.” Original Score: 5/5
Nate Adams (The Only Critic)
“If you’ve already stuck around this long, there’s little reason to deviate as series creators Hayden Schlossberg, Jon Hurwitz, and Josh Heald have proven their cache, but maybe they should consider closing up the dojo before the goodwill runs out.” Original Score: B
Nate Richard (Collider)
“Cobra Kai Season 5 is a showcase of the best elements of the series, despite a bit of roughness around the edges.” Original Score: A-
Chris Joyce, Movies and Munchies (YouTube)
“Season five of Cobra Kai still retains a lot of the feels of an angsty soap opera, but it infuses enough nostalgia with likeable characters and enjoyable action to keep this from languishing in the melodramatic tropes of a true soap.” Original Score: 4.5/5
Trent Moore (Paste Magazine)
“If you like Cobra Kai and revel in the melodrama of the myriad Karate Kid sequels, the fifth season of this series is an all you can eat buffet of deep cuts, callouts, world-building and karate face-offs literally decades in the making.” Original Score: 7.5/10
Sam Stone (CBR)
“Despite launching the season with a rough and uneven set of opening episodes, Cobra Kai Season 5 is back to its old glory when it tightens its narrative focus as the season progresses.”
Lauren Coates (AwardsWatch)
“Though Cobra Kai has once again found a way to up the stakes in the world of San Fernando Valley Karate, season five of the Netflix dramedy is one of its funniest yet.” Original Score: A
Fred Topel (United Press International)
Cobra Kai now has the high class problem of having so many meaningful characters that there’s a need for more episodes, or longer episodes, to serve them all.

Cobra Kai Season 5 [80] reviews are coming in now: https://t.co/bkaOxqaGP3
"Season 5’s detour away from the dojo means that Cobra Kai itself took some time to reflect, grow, and change. The show is much better off for it." – Scarlet Harris, Daily Beast (Netflix Friday) pic.twitter.com/uFlx5TVL1S— metacritic (@metacritic) September 6, 2022
#CobraKai Season 5 is excellent!
Stunts are exceptional (yet again). Individual character arcs are powerful and especially well woven together. And oh my, Thomas Ian Griffith as Terry Silver. Big bads don't get stronger than that.

For what it is worth my spoiler free review of @CobraKaiSeries Season 5 is that the first 9 episodes are flat out amazing and challenge everything that we thought we knew. 10/10.
After that I can't say, as I will be fresh on Friday like the rest of the fans.— daveprince37 (@daveprince37) September 6, 2022

Season 5 of #CobraKai gives fans more of what they expect without changing the formula, and with plenty of familiar heroes and villains along the way. https://t.co/Gm0iSFMBY1

After watching every episode, we can confidently say, #CobraKai season 5 is the best season yet, with a few minor issues. The season doubles down on almost everything, with better fight choreography, higher stakes, and tons of 80s cheese.
