‘Cobra Kai’ Season 5 Punches Up a Coveted 100% Critics Score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Strike hard, strike fast: Season 5 of 'Cobra Kai' has a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Cheesy one-liners, nostalgic '80s rock and high schoolers busting out
advanced karate moves are just a few reasons for viewers to love Season 5
of Cobra Kai. The new season kicked off Friday and already has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes from critics and audiences.

Rotten Tomatoes.
All 10 episodes of the fifth season, which stars Ralph Macchio and
William Zabka (reprising their roles from the original “Karate Kid”
movies), were binge-released Sept. 9 on Netflix. As of Friday, “Cobra
Kai” Season 5 registered a 100% Tomatometer score, based on Rotten
Tomatoes’ aggregation of 27 critics ratings, as well as a 96% audience
score. Season 1 of “Cobra Kai” also has a 100% critics score on the
site, while seasons 2 and 3 have a 90% critics score and S4 clocks in at
95%. (A caveat: The critics score for Season 5 could decline if RT
incorporates additional reviews that are less than favorable.
Like
any show with this many high-school-age characters in the mix, "Cobra
Kai" appears to be running out of real estate, at least in terms of how
much more plausible mileage can be milked from the younger crowd. The
seasons have also begun to exhibit a familiar pattern, starting and
finishing strong while dragging a bit in the middle.
Even so, the show's remarkable resilience thus far -- having started out on YouTube before migrating to Netflix, where it blossomed into an Emmy-nominated success -- suggests it would be premature to count it out.
Besides,
"Cobra Kai" has again demonstrated that all you really need is one good
leg on which to keep fighting. Five seasons in, the show has already
surpassed any reasonable expectations, developing a life of its own that
proves it wasn't just "Karate Kid"-ing around.
By comparison, many other recent TV premieres have Tomatometer scores in the 80s. Those include Disney+’s “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” (88%); Netflix’s “The Sandman” (87%); FX/Hulu’s “The Patient” (86%); HBO’s “House of the Dragon” (85%); and Prime Video’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” (84%).
Recent TV shows to achieve a 100% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes include Netflix’s “Mo,” FX/Hulu’s “Reservation Dogs” Season 2, HBO’s “Hacks” Season 1 and Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building” Season 1. Those join others with the top Tomatometer score, including the third and fourth seasons of “Breaking Bad,” “Fleabag” Season 2, “Insecure” Season 1, “Master of None” Season 1 and “Broad City” Seasons 2-5.
"Cobra Kai" begins its fifth season September 9 on Netflix.
