If you have kids... this is definitely a series you want to watch with them or at least encourage them to watch. It has won a ton of awards and is easily among the best animated television that has ever been produced. For the first time it is available to stream via Netflix.
This is the intro to the series which gives you an idea as to what is going on...
I cannot recommend it highly enough. Hell, kids aside you would probably enjoy this series if you enjoy animated programs.
/the movie made by M. Night Shamalalalammanan is terrible and you should avoid it at all costs if you enjoy this series. [Reply]
My kids love it, and a lot of the girls on my daughters softball team are watching it now. I enjoyed watching it with the kids, decent cartoon. [Reply]
Finally got to see the whole thing through this past couple weeks. I had seen bits and pieces on Nickelodeon throughout the years, but I thanks to this I was able to see it front to back. EXCELLENT show. I grew up watching some light anime (DBZ, Ronin Warriors, Gundam Wing), and this show brings back some of those same feels. Tremendous. [Reply]
It's a great show. I'm on my first re-watch since it originally aired as we speak. I was concerned that the kiddy nature of the show would cause it to age horribly but it's actually not bad at all. I find myself chuckling quite a bit.
The animation and concept is just fucking awesome.
I didn't love The Legend of Korra so much but it's also worth a watch if you like this. [Reply]

Well, turns out I had only seen the first season of Korra. I'm rewatching now and the first season was actually bomb af. Amon was a great, really creepy villain.
The second season was a bit weird with all the spirit stuff, but I enjoyed some aspects, particularly the episode of the first avatar.
I'm on season three now and these Red Lotus dudes ain't playing no fucking games. [Reply]

Tenzin vs. Red Lotus.... fucking outstanding. JK Simmons voicing Tenzin was fantastic casting. [Reply]

Episodes about the first Avatar are probably my favorite in the whole avatar animated world. Such a good pair of episodes. [Reply]

The Avatar Wan story is by far the best part of Korra.

Every single time I re-watch the series I pick up something new. A guy at my money making gig outside the farm got me watching Over Analyzing Avatar on youtube and that has been quite the trip to see all the things that I have missed. [Reply]

They’re sitting on a lot of content with previous avatars.
They’ve actually got some novels out diving into the lives of Kyoshi and Yangchen. I haven’t read them yet but plan to at some point.
You mentioned the live action Netflix show being bad. I didn’t think it was entirely terrible but I won’t argue that it was good. Kyoshi taking over for Aang was the best part of the show, IMO. [Reply]

Literally hated pretty much everything about it. It took my 2 weeks to finish the last 3 episodes. They just ruined everything and took away the character flaws of the main characters. I hated it so much and it sucks because I was so excited. [Reply]
I've tried to get started on it, but there's so much adult-level stuff I'm trying to catch up on that it never really seems like the time to watch. [Reply]
