This follow-up series to "Avatar: The Last Airbender" is set 70 years after the events of "Avatar" and follows Korra, the next Avatar after Aang, who is from the Southern Water Tribe. With earth, water and fire under her belt, Korra must master the art of airbending. Korra's quest leads her to Republic City, a virtual melting pot where benders and nonbenders live together. But she soon discovers that the land is plagued by crime and a growing antibending revolution that threatens to tear the city apart. While dealing with the dangers, Korra begins her airbending training under the tutelage of Aang's son, Tenzin.

Instead of spending time on character development, Legend of Korra mires its characters in absurd, round-and-round fights over who gets to date one another. Go to Full Review
Brian Lowry Variety Sep 21, 2018
The Legend of Korra, another slick-looking, anime-informed concept,... this [series] represents a bit more ambitious storytelling for older kids, and perhaps a few adults with the geek gene. Go to Full Review
David Hinckley New York Daily News Sep 21, 2018
Maybe having a 17-year-old girl run the world isn't as weird an idea as it sounds. In The Legend of Korra, it's sure entertaining watching her learn how. Go to Full Review

I've honestly loved that Korra was willing to go to continually sadder and harder to deal with places all season long.... sometimes, things suck and that's the way life is. Go to Full Review
Emily Ashby Common Sense Media Sep 21, 2018
Continuing in the tradition of epic fiction established in Avatar: The Last Airbender, this series boasts a surprising level of substance for an action cartoon. Go to Full Review

I'm pretty sure Naga is the most impressive character in this show so far. Go to Full Review

Carly D @carly305 Oct 21, 2026 The Legend of Korra was amazing! See more Dahlia Will M @RT67922363 Oct 19, 2026 It is boring so over rated and here are my problems with this show: 1. She removed all the other pass Avatars from the spirit world so all the new avatars can only speak to her. Selfish, unreliable, complains, worst Avatar to give wisdom, and much more. 2. There hole team was built on love and dating history example: Mako is her ex, Bolin, Mako's brother which liked Kora, and Asami Koras girlfriend. 3. The thing that made the first Avatar show so successful one of many reasons is that they are all innocent and just watching a kid and his friends go on adventures together seeing the changes of there relationships and how they react to the challenges makes it so heart warming and successful unlike Kora where they all start as teens. 4. And lastly the first Avatar show was really funny and a comedy unlike Kora which is more Romance instead. There is a lot of other reasons why this show sucks, but I'll just keep it at that. See more John M @RT95619389 Oct 14, 2026 Could have been a 5 if not for them trying to rush the ending but I love Amon so much See more X Y @RT97643406 Oct 14, 2026 Esta serie se ha mantenido sin pena ni gloria como una de las mejores series animadas. Sin embargo la poca planeación que tuvo para su desarrollo hacen evidentes su muy mal trabajado guión, que en muchas ocasiones está pagado de guionazos, deus ex machina y conveniencias. Muchos capítulos se sienten que no tienen rumbo y además el final de la temporada es muuuy apresurado aparte que todo se resuelve por fan service y la magia del guión. See more J C @RT55244710 Oct 12, 2026 Everyone who dislikes this show needs a finger up there butt See more BELN G @RT22665885 Oct 11, 2026 In the beginning of the series, we're looking at a teenage girl who's been controlled and excluded from society by The White Lotus members and her parents. She's a teenager. Let's not forget that. She's not aware of the outside world because she wasn't permitted to. When she finally has the chance, she finds a hostile Republic City, very different from what she imagined, where poor and homeless people do exist, where Benders and Non Benders don't tolerate each other and many bad intented people. Republic city didn't turn out the way Aang expected. I highly recommend viewers to have patience and keep watching the series. It's worth it. See more Read all reviews
