This is a cartoon, yet I found it not only entertaining but a source of many life lessons. The story of the avatar is one of the many colours of life, from sadness to happiness, from shame to accepting your true self. I watched this as a teenager and now rewatching this as an adult on Netflix made me realise how great this show was. The writers wrote each episode to keep you engaged but never lost their purpose. This is a tale that stays true through all three seasons. I must mention there was a movie adaptation, but I honestly don't know why the director and producers made a poor and somewhat disrespectful live action. I think they didn't watch it the show properly.

This show is testament to great writing and direction. The characters are well developed and you end up finding one that resonates with you. I for one loved the story of prince Zuko, I even liked Appa the pet flying bison. That's right even Aang's pet had more character than many tv shows without even uttering a word. Without giving much spoilers, it's a tale of triumph through suffering, finding the many colours of life along their journey to find the rainbow.
