Episode Rankings: Cobra Kai

Cobra Kai is such a weird show. It started off as a loving continuation of the Karate Kid movies, passing the torch to a new generation of karate kids. Now it's on its fourth season, a goofy show filled with bombastic action scenes, soap opera drama, and a full-on gang war. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it, but at least the finales are good. Here's my ranking of the episodes:

1. No Mercy (S2.10) - I think the school fight was the "jumping the shark" moment for the show, but it was a pretty spectacular jump.
2. Mercy (S1.10)
3. December 19 (S3.10)
4. The Rise (S4.10)
5. Miyagi-Do (S3.05)
6. Pulpo (S2.09)
7. Different But The Same (S1.09)
8. The Fall (S4.09) - Honestly could have been higher if not for that Carrie Underwood scene.
9. Counterbalance (S1.05)
10. Nature Vs Nurture (S3.02)
11. Take A Right (S2.06)
12. Match Point (S4.05)
13. All Valley (S1.07)
14. The Good, The Bad, And The Badass (S3.08)
15. Mercy, Part II (S2.01)
16. Feel The Night (S3.09)
