Avatar: The Last Airbender is the kind of show you have to see every episode to understand. The slightest minutia come back seasons later to play important roles in the series. That being said it is one of the most carefully orchestrated and beautiful TV series I have ever watched. It has amazing, flawed characters that aren't pieces of cardboard like most on TV nowadays. The show is hilarious, tragic, scary, and beautiful all at the same time and a timeless piece of television with great messages for children as well as adults. Don't let the fact that this was on Nickelodeon deter you from watching, because it is definitely not only for children. People of all ages find this show engaging and inspiring. I guarantee once you begin watching it you will not be able to stop. It is truly an astonishing work of art that has left in me in awe due to is amazing characters, epic scale, fulfilling story, and jaw dropping beauty. Do not miss it!!
