Cobra Kai, One of Netflix's Few Great Shows, Announces Its 6th and Final Season

Netflix is the western world’s largest streaming service but its offerings are hit or miss with an emphasis on “miss.” The streaming service continues to allow the infection of wokeness to spread into almost every program it releases. Not even nature shows are safe as, at some point, you’re likely going to get a lecture about global warming.

Few shows truly escape a social justice intrusion. One of those was the show “Cobra Kai,” a revival of the 80s “Karate Kid” movies starring Ralph Macchio and William Zabka, both of whom reprise their roles as Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence respectively.

Naturally, thanks in part to its ability to resist social justice infusion, the show garnered a loyal fanbase. It also attracted quite a bit of outrage since the show didn’t obey the demands of modern social groups. The show is incredibly diverse, but in true woke fashion, the show’s diversity isn’t good enough.

Regardless, “Cobra Kai” continued to be a beloved series on a streaming platform increasingly proving to be less and less reliable in terms of delivering quality content.

Sadly, it would appear that the show is coming to an end. On Friday, the showrunners announced that “Cobra Kai” would be entering its 6th and final season. The notification came with a heartfelt letter to the fans posted to Twitter from the show’s account.

“This fandom is the best on the planet and we hope to be telling more Karate Kid stories with you down the line. Because as we all know, Cobra Kai Never Dies,” reads the letter.

I count myself among the show’s fans, and as a person who can get pretty critical of media (it’s part of my job) I have to say that the show really is charming despite its flaws.

It can be so corny at times that my wife and I will look at each other with incredulous looks on our faces during scenes. The fight choreography can look more like a slowed-down version of a Power Rangers battle, featuring all the grunts and “hiyas” you’d expect to find in a fake action show. Moreover, the drama that these people often find themselves in is definitely elevated far past what it would normally be in the real world.

But you kind of shrug that off because you’re just happy to see something that doesn’t try to preach at you. In fact, on several occasions, the show allows characters to mock the modernity that has infected too many kids. Even when they do, it doesn’t seem ill-intended. It’s just something one of the characters would say.

It’s a meat and potatoes show that doesn’t require anything of the viewer but to just sit, turn off for a bit, and enjoy the show. Like the movie the show is based on, it harkens back to a time when entertainment was the primary goal, not some forced attempt at preaching “virtues.”

I definitely suggest you give it a shot yourself. It won’t be a groundbreaking show and you won’t walk away in deep thought, but that’s part of why it’s good. It’s just a show that despite all the action and drama retains a wholesomeness that seems to be missing from many shows nowadays.
