This series at the surface is a kid's TV show, and it does a good job with that. Under the surface it's an amazing story of many character's personal journies that you feel extremely personal with.

The Last Airbender is a kids show that truly succeeds on delivering drama, humor and action in a way that an actual movie this days can't really do i also loved how they split the show into parts like Book 1 or Book 2 and goes on also the characters are very likable especially Aang and Katara and if you truly like shows like these with magical creatures and a lot of adventure The Last Airbender will give you a lot of entertainment but do yourself a favor and don't watch the M. Night Shyamalan Film. Love it!

I think I've already watched it about 5 times through because the storyline and characters are ones you yearn to revisit like old friends. It has its 'kids show' moments (usually mid season) but the ultimate arc payoff is unlike any other show.

I was five years old when the first episode of Avatar came out, and immediately it became my favorite show. For the next three years, I was hooked into the journey of Avatar Aang and his friends trying to end a hundred year war. It took me a few years to truly understand the messages behind the show, but once I did, I realized how important it is to show this to children. This series covers topics like immigration and refugees, war effects on civilian populations, child abuse and abandonment, genocide, environmental conservation, and many other philosophies that the rest of the world should be living by. It tells the stories of Aang, the last of his race who must come to terms with his loneliness and realize his purpose in life and bring peace to the world, and Zuko, the banished prince of the Fire Nation, who goes on an Odyssey to capture the Avatar and regain his honor. The two parties go on countless spiritual journeys and learn lessons about life, love, acceptance, and friendship. The series teaches the viewer to forge their own path in life, as well as lessons about your inner balance. This is the perfect kids show, watchable at any age. I'm eighteen, I watch shows like The Walking Dead and The Sopranos. I only really appreciate mature, deep shows. Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of the most mature shows to exist, and it just happens to me marketable to kids. Parents, look this show up. You might just enjoy it yourself. P.S. The fight scenes are pretty wicked.
