Season 1 Review: Visually, Korra is striking. It's full of little tricks and nuances that only true fans will notice and savor, but nothing prevents civilians from enjoying it as well. The same holds for the mythology. Read full review

Season 1 Review: When her Airbender training is postponed, Korra travels to Republic City, where Aang's son Tenzin lives, so he can teach her. And that's when the fun begins. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Mostly, the intrigue in the half-hour pilot proves a trifle head-scratching, but there's a fair amount of action and an impressive look. Read full review

An excellent sequel to 'Avatar: The Last Airbender', it might have some rough edges and problems for trying to do a lot stuff but that's what makes it special, not a lot of animated TV shows dare do lots of different things and challenge the status quo.

It's an amazing sequel to The Last Airbender that deserves more love.
If you go into LOK expecting the last airbender, you will be sorely dissapointed as it's completely different in how it does things.

If you go into LOK expecting the last airbender, you will be sorely dissapointed as it's completely different in how it does things.

If you want to enjoy it more, just watch it, like you are watching a new show.

Don't put expectations of which directions you want the show to go through as it's most likely going to go another direction than that.

70 years have passed and aang brought peace to the world so you're following completely different characters in situations that are not similar at all.

It's like avatar was star wars rebels with a group hiding from the empire (fire nation) while korra is clone wars where life is more peaceful with seasonal threats and more mature themes. It's a spin off sequel so just don't expect anything from what you watched in avatar, expect something completely different.

Just watch it like you watched avatar the last airbender for the first time, not knowing what awaits you and letting the story and world immerse you. Just don't expect the story to go somewhere beforehand.

Why am I telling you all this?

Because this show deserves your full immersion.… Expand

What most people fails to understand is that TLOK aint Aang's story anymore, Korra is a whole new avatar, with whole new problems and personality, but the show doesn't fail to have memorable villains, each one wanting to change the world but using force, and thats fantastic, since the worldWhat most people fails to understand is that TLOK aint Aang's story anymore, Korra is a whole new avatar, with whole new problems and personality, but the show doesn't fail to have memorable villains, each one wanting to change the world but using force, and thats fantastic, since the world isn't at war anymore like it was on ATLA, and its been 70 years since its predecessor and the world has changed a lot, and on the "feminist" subject the series aint nothing out of the common, while people may say that *SPOILER* Asami and Korra became a couple in the ending of the series, i like to see it as political blablabla from Nickelodeon, since we don't see anything that suggests it on the series, TLOK is a good show made for the original fans of ATLA, but they can't expect a direct continuation of the original shows, and see it as a whole new story, much like the three trilogys of star wars.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have no knowlege of the Avatar beyond the live action movie. My take on TLOK is more of a preview than a review. I watched all of book one and enjoyed it. Korra is powerful, but not all powerful. She tries and fails and tries and fails again. Learns from and needs help from her old mentor and new friends. Her romantic conflict, heroes journey and spritiutal arc seem all done in book one that I hazard to go beyond book one. On the techincal side the animation was fun and exciting to watch. The shows rating did hold in back somewhat for me as an adult, but hey this is one more for the kids right? I got it for the kids, but they passed on it (fronite/apex is king). So I thought I would give it a try and was pleasntly surprised so far.

Update: Oh whoa Korra is for some reason in a later season a bi-sexual and falls for a women she showed no interest in season one? Did Korra get a new avatar power? "Sexuality Bending" or something mid seasons? She was all the dudes in season one, wtf lol? Glad I stopped at season one then when it all made kind of sense story and plot wise.… Expand

Nowhere near as good as the original series. It was OK at times but I got bored of it a long time before it ended
