This show is a sequel to 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' and the unique factor remains to be the same; some people can 'bend' certain elements and only one person, the Avatar, can master and bend all the elements in order to maintain balance in the world. The series' protagonist is Avatar Korra, who is the reincarnation of Avatar Aang from the previous series and follows her journey as she attempts to help overcome the unrests that terrorise the world.
Although the first season's plot line was not something mind-blowing, it was certainly a good start to get people hooked on to the show. The show does not introduce Korra as someone who has mastered all the elements with ease. Rather, they show her struggles not only as an Avatar, but simply with the fact that she wants to leave her home at the Water Tribe in order to see the world outside and pursue her training at Republic City. Apart from that, the first season also does a great job of introducing us to other great characters and exposes the viewer to the sport of 'pro-bending'. The second season was one of my absolute favourites. The main reason is due to the origin story that is portrayed in this season, wherein it is explained through Korra's experience, how the very first Avatar came to be made.
The art style and animation throughout the episodes were brilliant as well. Additionally, the entrance of dark spirits was captivating as well, much like the plot line.
Whilst the third season was not as great as the previous two, it does possess a strong and capable villain and that helped to keep the pace going. This season also focusses a lot on the Earth Kingdom, which was a nice change from the other two seasons. Lastly, the fourth season is where I must express my disappointment. Compares to it's three predecessors, the fourth was a let down and even though the plot took a different direction, it did not match up to the pace and intensity of the previous three.

Overall, this show remains to be one of my favourites and is definitely a must-watch, especially for those who have seen the prequel.
Happy binge-watching!
