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.

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.
