REVIEW: Cobra Kai Season 4 (2021)
Cobra Kai rang in 2022 – or, rather, ended 2021 – by giving us the fourth chapter in its dueling dojos saga, and what a way to start a new year! With season 4, Cobra Kai continues its unbroken winning streak with another round of episodes that perfectly balance character arcs, a compelling story...
