The series’ cinematography stands out as being commendable, so kudos to Cameron Duncan once again for capturing and delivering the Miyagiverse so beautifully.

‘Cobra Kai’ has worked best when all of its most important pieces are involved in the same story, sharing the screen and playing off each other. It’s exactly what we get in the final five episodes of Season 5, sure to give fans everything they love about the series. It’s safe to say without giving too much away that it may take a bit of time to get there. But as fans already know, in all of Mr. Miyagi’s great lessons, “patience is of the utmost importance.”
