I was a little hesitant going into this show. Would it be too childish? Does it live up to the hype? I watched the first episode and was immediately hooked. The characters are well developed; the stories interesting and well written and the overall setting is stunning. The series manages to remain child-friendly while still being mature and well balanced. It's humour is often witty and sometimes downright hilarious.

The story is that of the Avatar, someone who can control all four elements in a world where 'benders' exist: those who can control their respective elements. 100 years beforehand, the Fire Nation (the fire benders) invade the rest of the world, but the Avatar seemingly vanished. 100 years later, in present day, the Avatar is revealed to be a young air bender called Aang who is the last of his people. He meets two Water Tribe citizens: Katara, a water bender and Sokka, a warrior. Together, they aim to teach Aang the four elements and to save the world from the Fire Nation.

A stunning, stunning show.
