    I'm a big fan of the original, and so my opinion is skewed, but the Netflix show seemed to take all the love and care for the worldbuilding, the thought and time put into the characters, and the intricacy and pacing for the plot... and just throw that shit in a blender, add some thematically antithetical violence and a shit-ton of unnecessary CGI, and crap out a super polished, extra-stinky turd.

    Season 1 of this is not as good as season 1 of the original cartoon. But for someone not familiar with the cartoon, it's certainly enjoyable. Similar to Netflix' One Piece adaption.

    Wait wait, there was a season 1? As someone that loved the OG, is that worth watching?

    My understanding is folks were whelmed. Some under.

    I’d watch it without anyone else’s opinion on your mind first tho.

    I'm not going to waste my time on it if it's an absolute trash fire like the movie, is the thing. Sounds like it definitely wasn't that bad, though, so I'll give it a go.

    I had to check my records to confirm I did in fact watch the first season because I had NO recollection what-so-ever.

    The addition of the backstory on Zuko’s crew was a very nice touch. Cautiously optimistic on season two.

    More Avatar: TLA stuff comes out. The more I think we are so lucky the original show was so good. Very thing after it sucked.

    EDIT The further away you get from A:TLA. The more things start to suck.
