This show is amazing and captivates audiences long after they outgrow other children's programming.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is not afraid to tackle mature themes and impactful storylines.

War, genocide, indoctrination and propaganda, brainwashing, parental abuse, female empowerment, oppression, forgiveness, gender discrimination, and loss are just some of the major themes covered throughout the series.

So many episodes are heavy hitters that create an emotional impact that is lasting and powerful. Unlike many other series that are made to be binge-watched, Avatar: The Last Airbender is unique in creating stand-alone episodes that leave you satisfied when they're over - all while still building on an overall plot that continues throughout the entire series.

It is a masterpiece that far exceeds what is typically expected of a series made for children's television.
