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.

Much of the frustration with Legend of Korra is warranted, particularly around the political narratives it's endorsing. At the same time, Korra denies us the easy solutions that leave us feeling cozy after watching Avatar. Go to Full Review Gwen Ihnat AV Club 10/31/2018
The martial-arts action segments are unparalleled (like an animated Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), but Korra's status as one of the great feminist cartoon heroines secures her place on this list. Go to Full Review Joshua Rivera Entertainment Weekly 09/21/2018
Korra's growth from brash and impatient teenager to capable leader and mature woman is incredibly satisfying; Korra managed to be one of the best series about a female superhero since Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Go to Full Review Michael Cuby them. 09/30/2022
Better than its predecessor, not only because it centers the experience of a complicated young woman, but also because it was a show that dared to end on a note that confirmed it had been about the romantic connection between two women all along. Go to Full Review David Griffin Screen Rant 09/21/2018
[Kuvira] is a fearsome beauty, possessing a strength and determination that could rival Amon, or even Zaheer. While her motivations for this new world order are still unclear, she should be an interesting addition to this season Go to Full Review Allyson Johnson The Young Folks 09/21/2018
I loved this show by the end, and I can't tell you how happy it made me to see such a strong lineup of female characters, led by the strongest who was a woman of color. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Gononan B @biggononanotthelilone 2d Absolutely Cinema!!! See more Nikki A. @NikkixAx May 31 *Spoilers* Season 4 contains one of the most realistic portrayals of trauma and recovery I've seen in animation. What makes it remarkable is that it understands healing is not linear. When Korra bends the poison out of her body it feels like everything should be fixed. Instead the series shows that recovery is only beginning. She continues to struggle with fear, self-doubt and the psychological scars left by what happened to her. Recovery is messy, frustrating and takes far longer than anyone wants it to. One of the season's most powerful moments is Korra confronting Zaheer. The man responsible for much of her trauma ultimately helps her take another step toward healing. It's a brilliant reminder that people and situations are rarely black and white. Season 4 is why I often think people who say they hate Korra never finished the series. Her journey was never about becoming Aang. It was about becoming Korra. This season delivers one of the most rewarding character arcs in animation See more Casey U @CaseyUrich Jan 9 Second favorite show. Leaving a review to boost ratings because people are dumb. See more BERNALT V @miamicuz Nov 22 I like the original Avatar series See more The Cursed Legion T @GAVINSISEMORE 01/21/2025 Korea struggles and unbearable amount and still manages to treat everyone well, the return of toph was Awesome and the protagonist couldn't have been written better. Overall the korra series is one of the best shows I've ever seen. I often come back to re-watch and enjoy the show once more. See more Jonah T @RT45589864 07/11/2024 Didn't used to love it but after many rewatches learned to really love the season. I really like how uncomfortable this season makes you, its hard to see Korra struggle so much to a point where you almost feel negative watching it. But thats the point of Korra, its much more real and raw than ATLA is. Its more mature and even though its not perfect like ATLA is its still a great watch. I think the show just suffers from having to live up to its predecessor. But most creators would kill to make a show this good, See more Read all reviews
