I am a major fan of the Cartoon Series. What makes this refreshing is it's not a carbon copy of the Cartoon series. It takes multiple cartoon episodes into one live action episode, but changes it enough to make it feel new. There are times where I Was like, yeah I know what happens....but then I am like what? The spirit of Avatar cartoon is def in this series. My wife and I love the Netflix live action. My advice, don't be an avatar purist going in. just enjoy yourself.
