Lately children's TV has become dumber and uglier.. goof's and weird stuff. Of course within all those goofy shows there are some stars, but Avatar surprised me a great deal. OK the draw-ed style is semi anime. Which is a big trend in cartoon drawers now, and should not be. We should get back to the details, the mood. However Avatar makes up for that with a dazzling character cast. Some with an underlying depth that will surface as you watch the series. Sokka is the shows comedy character, and yet he comes through when things get rough, however the character I mean the most is Prince Zuko. The banished sun of the Evil Fire Lord. On an forever going hunt for the last avatar, to capture him and re-win his fathers respect. Prince Zuko is the regular villain of the show, but he alone should be enough reason to watch through the series. Not because he is cool or badass (which he is), but because he is the character that shows the most of his personal sides through the series. Other than that the show holds a good quality, with decent action scenes and a not to repetitive storyline. I love it, because it shows that children's TV is not totally lost.
