More setup than anything else, Part 1 maintains the charm, humor and action of the series, while leaving you wanting more and ready for Part 2. [Full review in Spanish]

Although the first five episodes don't reach the levels of the first two seasons, it far surpasses the last two seasons, thanks to its effort remembering what made it special from the beginning. [Full review in Spanish]

Cobra Kai continues to boast an impossibly charming blend of humor and heart. Season 6 Part 1 tees up a number of strong storylines with great potential moving forward, but all eyes land on Tory courtesy of Peyton List's showstopping performance.

Still good entertainment, but the incessant search for tension between its protagonists ends up being a bit exaggerated.

It's the longest the show's ever been this "light," but with the danger levels low, there's room to enjoy the calm before the storm and spend time with this fun cast of characters.

As always, Johnny is the most compelling person on screen at any given moment because he’s always at war with his inner nature.

Packed with drama, action, and suspense. Fans will go on an emotional roller coaster before ending on quite the cliffhanger.

The heart of what made Cobra Kai so endearing is still present and the dual lead of Macchio and Zabka nobly carry Cobra Kai: Season 6 Part 1, but taken as a whole these episodes are an underwhelming setup for what seems like better episodes ahead.

We can see Hurwitz, Schlossberg and Heald focusing and being able to bring Cobra Kai to the finish line with a funny, emotionally affecting story.

This is by some distance the weakest batch of episodes in the show’s run to date because of how toothless and repetitive it all is.

Amy Amatangelo Paste Magazine
The series’ consistent secret weapon has always been its sense of humor, and Season 6 has plenty... The show demonstrates a constant, cheeky self-awareness and willingness to be in on the joke.

The heightened reality of this show means that the tone won’t grow too heavy, and viewers can still roll with the absurd.

With Cobra Kai’s formula laid so bare, the show feels like it’s coasting, just when it should be hurtling towards the end.

What the tournament holds and whether any character will make it out only after being put in a body bag remains to be seen, but it's clear that "Cobra Kai" is heading toward a big finish that will leave no character unscarred.

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.

After a bit of a clunky start, Part 1 of the sixth and final season gains momentum as it continues and delivers plenty to enjoy for fans of this series and the overall franchise that begat it.
