What to Know

Critics Consensus

Avatar: The Last Airbender serves as a solid live-action entry point into the beloved franchise, although it only sporadically recaptures the magic of its source material.

It's undeniable that Netflix's adaptation is a reminder of how much we missed the world of Avatar. It's still so much fun, and there's still so much to learn with messages that ring even more true today... Go to Full Review

B-
The result is a charming but imperfect adaptation that vastly improves upon the 2010 film — but never soars quite as high as the original animated show. Go to Full Review
Laura Babiak Observer Feb 23, 2024
The Netflix adaptation is far from a disaster, but it doesn’t master the elements that made the original so good. Go to Full Review

3/5
If you go in expecting an equally groundbreaking and endearing series as the original, well, prepare to be disappointed. Keep your expectations medium-low, and you’ll have a good time kicking back and watching some eye-catching fantasy fare. Go to Full Review

Getting to grips with Avatar sometimes feel like wrestling a giant flying buffalo. But when it does achieve lift-off, this tale of a follicly challenged magic teenager bouncing off clouds is a breath of fresh air. Go to Full Review

It understands that the series is working toward Aang's mastering all four elements and what it means to travel the world, pick up new fighting techniques, and make new allies and friends who could come in handy in the battle against the Fire Nation. Go to Full Review

Tomas V @RT61810332 5 days ago After hearing mixed reviews about this new Netflix Avatar the last airbender series I wanted to see for myself. Based on my experience with the original series, this series just not hits the spot. Yes, this series is made with real people; but the story line is just all mixed up compared to the original. Some episodes even just fast travel to a new spot without context. The story of this new series just mess with my brain about the chronological order of all that happens. The actors are doing a great job playing their respective rolls. I still kind of enjoy watching the series to see how it goes and end. If you are going to watch this series, don't compare it to the cartoon; you will be dissapointed. Watch this new series with an open mind about Aang and his friends; and you will enjoy it. See more Su G @STG1979 Oct 18, 2026 I'm very impressed with how the live Avatar series was finally done this time. The production did not come up short: the special effects were super high quality, and the casting and acting were great. Call me crazy, but with the live-action performances, I thought this series delivered in ways the original could not. The real human emotions intended by the animated series were deeply felt, yet the lighthearted feel of the show still carried through. What a pleasant surprise after all the failed attempts prior. See more R T @RT01359860 Sep 6, 2026 I loved it! Loved the characters and the challenges they faced - yes essentially it's a teenage coming of age series but whatever our age we're all facing conflicting demands of family and society so it is relevant; we're all coming to terms with eroding the concept of there being good v bad and I love how nuanced it is in this series. The action is beautifully choreographed, the set designs and special effects are amazing. It's got a lot of heart and humility set in a world of mystery, wonder and steps taken to realise ones inner potential. Very enjoyable to watch - doesn't a positive feeling after watching. See more Alejandro P @RT53279954 Aug 23, 2026 Degrades everything the original show was, especially the characters. The actual youth could have done better in shortening the og to a live action show, the adults did a horrible job. See more Jesus B @RT71254475 Aug 15, 2026 Una adaptación bastante fiel, excepto tal vez por el cast de las tres chicas de la nación del fuego. No obstante, es una serie muy buena con excelente cast de personajes principales y buenos efectos especiales. No me queda más que decir que que me sorprende lo buenos que llegan a ser los Live Actions hoy en día. Super recomendada.
