This is undoubtedly one of the greatest TV series ever created. Sure, there are minor things that could be complained about, but they are irrelevant. The sheer beauty and magic of this world seems to bring it to life as you watch. While the backdrop world is no Middle-Earth, it is extremely well developed. The animation is beautiful, as is the bending the characters do. What really sets Avatar apart though, is its representation of good vs evil. It shows repeatedly that positive emotion and love can always triumph in a realistic, not cheesy way. A large part of the show has significant eastern-spiritual influence, which is surprising and wonderful to see in a cartoon, and Aang often meditates and has knowledge of quite a bit Zen teaching. Anyways, I highly recommend this show, and don't let the fact that it's on a kids' cartoon channel put you off. Highly recommended for all ages.
