"As always Johnny is the most compelling person on screen at any given moment because he's always at war with his inner nature."
Paste Magazine
"The series' consistent secret weapon has always been its sense of humour, and season 6 has plenty. The show demonstrates a constant, cheeky self-awareness and willingness to be in on the joke."

Empire Magazine
"With Cobra Kai's formula laid so bare, the show feels like it's coasting, just when it should be hurtling towards the end."
Collider
"While it will inevitably be hard to say goodbye to Cobra Kai, if part 1 of season 6 is any indication, longtime fans of the series and the franchise as a whole will get the best possible conclusion that they could have hoped for."
Cobra Kai seasons 1-5 and season 6 part 1 are available to watch now on Netflix.
