I have watched numerous tv series and this series takes the cherry on the top. I watched Avatar after watching the disastrous Shyamalan's take on this series. I wanted to know why fans were enraged and why was the original tv series so accalimed.I always take extremely acclaimed shows always with a pinch of salt but Avatar really is worth the hype. It is a children's show which is a must watch for every adult and is pertinent to the modern time though the setting is ancient. Mysticism, magic and spirituality all find a happy mix with reality in this show. Far too often, present day tv takes the supernatural a step too far to awe the audience but doesn't really justify the need for the same. But in Avatar's case, right from the beginning, every single element has its place that even a massive island sized lion turtle doesn't seem out of place. I also need to mention how the ending of many tv shows, movies etc fail to hit the mark after running the story through the course. Avatar had an ending which was true to the nature of the protagonist and side characters and did not leave me yearning for more as each and every string was connected. The fight between good vs evil was nuanced with themes of familial relations, friendship, fight against sexism, collective will of the people, xenophobia, themes of ethinic cleansing, orwelian notions of state etc etc. Avatar, like I said may just be a child's show but it also happens to be a simplified magnum opus on life itself.
