Review of The Rise

Cobra Kai: The Rise (2021)
Season 4, Episode 10
10/10
A brilliant finale to a great season
2 January 2022
I have to say, this finale was one of my all time favourite TV finales, it was brilliant. The acting, writing fight choreography, everything was on point. I loved where this season took all the characters, from the dramatic storyline of Miguel, to the conflicted Sam, to the increasingly more interesting Tory, who in my opinion is the best character this season. What an arch her character is going through. I would say it is similar to Hawk/Eli, who is also really good this season. Every character in this show have their time to shine, even the new kid, Kenny.

One of the best things about this episode, and this season in general is Terry Silver. He is as crazy here as he was back in Part 3. His sneaky backstabbing was on point, and I loved seeing Thomas Ian Griffith bring back that energy at the final moments of this episode.

This season ended on a high note, with some very emotional scenes. I will give credit to Tanner Buchanan, who plays Robbie. I've never given much thought to his performance, but he gives his all in one of the most powerful scenes in the series in this episode, that made me swallow a lump.

I'm looking forward to season 5, and by from they was filming is going on, we could expect that at the end of the year. Cobra Kai really is a fantastic TV show that respects the past and present.

10/10.
