Incredible episode. This is how a series finale is done. Honestly, I had some moments of worry about how this could end, but those worries were laid to rest once this episode began. The storytelling, the character arcs, the ending (my goodness the ending); it was a perfect way to close out the series.
Without spoiling anything: we had a few emotional episodes leading up to the finale, so I was prepared for some big twists. What I didn't expect was to be crying for the last fifteen minutes of the show. Sad tears? Happy tears? You'll just have to watch and find out for yourself :-)
Outstanding performances from Nonso Anozie and Christian Convery. They gave their all and it really showed!

I've watched the original animated series multiple times and always enjoy it, so obviously there was some doubt when a live-action series was announced; however, those doubts were cast aside when I started watching the first episode. It's a pretty solid adaptation and I've been enjoying it (currently on episode 7).
The casting is great with some standing out more than others (love seeing Amber Midthunder!), but a lot of these actors have had little screen time before this, so I'm willing to give them time to grow. The writing in general is faithful to the original but the creators also make adjustments to compliment the transition to live-action; honestly, if it was a 100% recreation I don't think it could work. The tone is slightly heavier in this series, so yes some of Aang's childishness is lost, but I'm liking it.
Overall: great show. I think diehard fans of the original will enjoy watching it, and even those newer to the Avatar world will get hooked.

Simply incredible. I watched the whole first season in one day. The storyline, the voice acting, the style...all of it worked so well together. I was almost questioning why so many people were raving over it until the final scene of the first episode, and then I was hooked. Can't wait to watch it again!
