The show couldn't have been more well done! They managed to tie in as many of the storylines as eight episodes would permit while retaining continuity. Some of the more mysterious aspects of the ATLA universe were arguably even better explained than in the original series. The bending was well done, fast, big, and detailed -- everything the movie wasn't. The casting was, in general, spot on and you really get a sense of the different ethnicities that make up the four nations. Couldn't be happier!
