This is a show that I would recommend to anyone. It is really universal in appeal and has a beautiful character driven plot in which the viewer develops a deep loyalty and love for Team Avatar as well as other characters as each person develops and grows from personal hardship and tests of character. These characters are well rounded and complex as we relate to their real struggles and celebrate in their victories, whether that be a positive transformation in ideals or a victory over the fire nation.

This show encapsulates the distinctly human elements of friendship, the pressure of one's destiny, nature vs. nature and the great capacity for good and evil within us all, as well as, importantly, the power to change. Each character, it feels, reflects a value as well as struggle that we find within ourselves. Whether it be the intense grief, but the resolution to set things right by guiding others along righteous paths of Uncle Iroh, the struggle of identity of good and evil within Zuko or being overshadowed in ability yet keeping an unwavering loyalty and protection of his friends for Sokka. Each of these aspects, although not fully representative of these complex characters is subtly and artfully revealed each characters' back story and life experiences attributing a sense of authenticity to these rounded characters.

Overall, it was made as a kid's cartoon, its appeal and intention is universal and remains a favourite among those who watch it to this day. Indeed, it is my favourite show also, and I would obviously recommend it to anyone.
