Cobra Kai: Survivors (2022)
Season 5, Episode 9
3/10
Producers should buy each viewer a pony
7 December 2022
Andy Kaufman (brilliantly immortalized in Jim Carrey's MAN IN THE MOON) was right. Such is oddball nature of the relationship between the creator and the spectator that, every now and then, the creator really should take the entire audience out for milk and cookies. Or, in the case of this show, buy each a pony to compensate for the mess this show has become. The first season was not merely brilliant, it struck a chord with parents and kids alike. Parents with long memories loved the nostalgia, and the new generation was intrigued by a good story with good players. Then a bad thing happened. The show was a major hit. Uh-oh. Suddenly what started as an experiment in streaming content turned into a dividend payment for the producers. Producers who are determined to drag out the story until the cows come home. The cash cows. This horrible and empty "filler" episode makes it crystal clear that the show has no idea where it is going, other than to the bank. For shame.((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."
