WhenNetflixannounced in 2018 that it was remaking the universally adored Nickelodeon series, eyebrows were raised.

Viewers might expectNetflix’sAvatar: The Last Airbenderto similarly fall into one of these camps.

In actuality, it sits equidistant between them.

It ultimately struggles to weave its various elements together.

I feel, then, there was a missed opportunity to expand Ozai’s role earlier in the story.

That was also the case in DiMartino and Konietzko’s offering.

Its cause isn’t helped by the expansion of, and slight revisions to, the original.

Avatar: The Last Airbenderwas one of10 TV shows I was most excited to see in early 2024.

In short: don’t expect to see it on ourbest Netflix showslist any time soon.

Go and watch the original also available on Netflix instead.

Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender is available in full to stream now.
