July 24th 2024.
Cobra Kai fans, rejoice! Season 6 of the hit show has made its highly anticipated debut on Netflix, and it's already dominating the streaming platform's weekly most-watched list. Since its release on July 18th, the action-packed series has garnered a whopping 14.8 million views.
This comes as no surprise, as Cobra Kai has been a fan favorite since its first season aired in 2018. With the success of its previous seasons, it was no wonder that season 6 was one of the most eagerly awaited Netflix shows of 2024. And it did not disappoint, receiving a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes upon its initial release and maintaining an impressive 98% rating to this day.
The Karate Kid spin-off takes place 34 years after the events of the 1984 film, following the story from the perspective of Johnny Lawrence. The show also delves into his decision to reopen the titular karate dojo, which has captured the hearts of its devoted viewers.
However, with the announcement that season 6 will mark the end of the series, many fans were left disappointed. But there is some good news - Netflix has made the unprecedented move to release the second part of season 6 early. The next batch of episodes will now be available on November 15th.
And it's safe to say that Netflix will benefit greatly from this decision, as Cobra Kai: Season 6 has already proven to be a massive hit. Just four days after its release, it had already been watched 14.8 million times, totaling to an impressive 47.5 million hours of viewing. It quickly shot to the top of Netflix's top 10 list and has received glowing reviews from subscribers, boasting an 88% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
While some TV critics have given the show a slightly lower rating of 79%, they still have plenty of positive things to say. Top critic Perri Nemiroff praised the series for its "impossibly charming blend of humor and heart," while Tessa Smith described it as "packed with drama, action, and suspense."
Cobra Kai: Season 6's success coincides with a shake-up on Netflix's most-watched chart. The previous top spot holder, Supacell, has now fallen to fifth place, while Vikings: Valhalla has moved up to second place. Alongside Cobra Kai, there are three new entries on the chart this week.
One of those entries is Simone Biles Rising, a documentary following the renowned gymnast in the aftermath of Tokyo 2021 and leading up to the Paris 2024 Olympics. It debuted at number three and has already been viewed 4.7 million times. Another new documentary, Homicide: Los Angeles, has also made its mark, with 4.3 million views since its release on July 16th and currently sitting at fourth place on the chart.
And for fans of reality dating shows, the sixth season of Too Hot to Handle has made its return to the top 10 list, with two million views in just three days. The show follows a group of attractive singles as they attempt to remain celibate on a tropical island in order to win a cash prize.
