Avatar: The Last Airbender (2024)
Wasn't expecting anything and I loved it!
I just finished season 1 and I was pleasantly surprised. I honestly knew nothing about Avatar The last air bender as I didn't watch the animated series before (only some episodes here and there, not enough to get into the story). I thought the cast was well chosen in general except maybe princess Azula who looks way too young, but the actress is nevertheless good. The special effects are great. I know some scenes are not exactly the same as the animated series, but I don't think it's problematic. My boyfriend is a fan of the animated series and be enjoyed it. The kid that plays the Avatar is excellent. Can't wait for season 2 now. 😊

Great show, do not compare it with Friends!
I had my doubts about this show at the beginning. I started watching some episode because it aired right after Modern family. But after watching a couple of random episodes, I started to get interested.
The characters really grew on me, I really recognize my friends and I through them. It's funny, touching at times, well written and intelligent. They make lots of references to movies, TV shows, celebrities, so if you don't watch a lot of movies and television, you may have some trouble understanding everything.
It's refreshing to see a gay character who's not a drama queen, typical type of gay guy you see on TV. Adam Pally, who plays the gay character, is awesome and my favorite. It's also so refreshing to see an interracial couple (black and white), that openly make jokes about their differences.
The only thing I don't really like about this show, is Elisha Cuthbert. Although I like her and I think she is so pretty, I don't think she plays her character well. I feel like she can't find her place with the others and she doesn't really fit, like she's missing something. A lot of times, I just find her awkward. But that's just my opinion. I'll still watch the show. Maybe she'll get better with time.
So overall, I think it's a super cool show. And please do not compare this series with Friends, this has nothing to do with it. It's too easy to say they are friends and do stuff together, and compare characters. It's so much more than that. I never really liked Friends and I love this show. They can't re-invent the wheel. We all have friends, a lot of them resemble others, it's based on real life that's it.
I really recommend everyone to at least watch season 1 :) Then you can judge by yourself :)
