Cobra Kai: Ranking Every Character Worst To Best

4. Amanda LaRusso

And now for the woman who (somehow) loves him. You can't help but feel pangs of sympathy for Amanda LaRusso. It must take an ocean of patience to deal with her husband Daniel's steady stream of revenge fantasies. Get out while you can, Amanda. It's liable to get worse.

When not quietly running her husband's car dealership while he's off playing sensei, Amanda LaRusso is her family's lone voice of reason. She's the steady hand guiding a ship of fools, particularly when it comes to Daniel's misguided efforts to thwart Cobra Kai. Emotional labour, are we right?!

Amanda's sharp enough to realize that Daniel and Johnny reliving their high school rivalry is nothing short of ridiculous, not to mention deeply unhealthy. Although it might not sound like much, in the world of Cobra Kai that practically makes her a Rhodes Scholar. White wine, red wine - somebody get her all the wines!

Her pragmatism and dedication keep LaRusso Auto Group humming, yet Amanda still knows the importance of having a good time. In one of the series' most memorable moments to date, her and Miguel's mother, Carmen, convince Daniel and Johnny to let their guard down together and cut loose. What a keeper.
