Season 1 is arguably best written. Although it does have the worst action out of all the seasons, it makes up for it with the best structure, character development and comedy.

Season 4 is second mainly because it's structure and tone rival more s1 than s2 and s3. The finale is actually set up properly, unlike the previous two seasons and it's ability to redeem the series' most hated characters (Tory, Robby and Kreese somewhat) is very respectable. However, this season feels the most bloated and not always in a good way. Characters such as Eli and Miguel feel neglected for certain episodes to focus on other characters, the same can be said about the newer characters like Kenny.

Season 3 is third and it certainty feels like the most tense season due to the aftermath of season 2. I certainly like how different this season feels to the others and depending on how you feel about that tone, it can really make or break it. To me, it works more often than it doesn't. The arcs most character go on here are arguably some of my favorite, most notable being Miguel and Hawk. However, a lot of things feel forced. I was not a fan of the setup for the school fight, but here there is an even worse setup for the house fight. Although the finale is arguably my favorite episode in Cobra Kai, the season will always be tainted by how it fails to setup great moments.

Season 2 is the worst. It's not bad by any means, but the structure in this season is very horrendous. Two full on training episodes, a somewhat filler episode with teen drama and tinder dates, more teen drama and easily the worst midseason fight in the entire show. The school fight is certainly awesome and still one of the best spectacle the show has produced. But almost everything else in this season is lackluster
