If I came into this expecting a kids show that acts like a kids show it'd be a 7/10. It is well done for a children's cartoon. That said, I started watching because of the endorsement from several people, "ATLA is one of the best shows of all time, bar none." After watching the whole thing, waiting, the entire time for it to pick up like I was promised, I can say it didn't leave me with that impression. It's fine, good even, sometimes, but it's definitely not a GOAT. I think, for a lot of people, this was probably one of the first shows they watched that had a somewhat complex, linear narrative, with relatable characters who have their own individual arcs and change through the series. Add the interest grab of elemental magic and of course, as a kid, you see this and you're just blown away. Without that nostalgia, the show is watchable but in no way lived up to the hype. Did enjoy the Zuko storyline, but I wouldn't recommend based off that alone. Did not enjoy the goofy sound effects, cheap humor, and moralizing, but again, it is a kids show. If I hadn't gone into this expecting prestige TV, I'd shrug it off and move along.
