This show is for people who like to watch something different, something unique, something that goes over the top, and something that beyond imagination. It's also very cartoony, and you may find some of the absurd comedy unfunny because those are displayed in plain expression, and subtle. Also it's hard to predict what's going to happen next. If none of these things I have described so far is unsuitable for you, then don't watch this show. Don't even bother to try it. You will complain about the show without even finishing the whole episodes just like many people left negative reviews here. This show reminds me of the korean movies, The Quiet Family and Save the Green Planet. If you enjoyed those two movies (Castaway on the Moon can be included in the similar manner), you will definitely enjoy this show.
I wasn't really sure about this show since I was pretty much disappointed by another netflix's live action adaptation, One Piece. Many people probably don't agree with me, but for me, one piece was very juvenile and cartoony - even the costumes in the show were cartoonish. It was just another animation with real people. Why bother making a live action adaptation if they aren't gonna apply a real life seriousness into it? I can't lie that kids did enjoy One piece a lot. The reason why I have "reviewed" One piece so far here is because Avatar: The Last Airbender is complete opposite. I could see a lot of seriousness and efforts all over the show including the costumes. CGI on the world building and fight scenes is quite seamless. Those effects of bending elements in the fight scenes are very convincing. The overall production is quiet impressive, and sure enough to entertain mature audience. This show can easily rank in top netflix shows of all time. It's hundred miles better than One piece, and million miles better than Shyamalan's Avatar. There are some cons of the show of course, and acting skills from some of the actors were questionable at some moments. If I have to pick one con of the show, Katara in the show is way, way off from the original animation character.
When it comes to netflix produced movies, the quality of the movies often reach to lower than the movies released in the theaters just like those straight-to-DVD movies. Of course there are few exceptions, but because of the long list of the sub par movies that Netflix produced, I tend to lower my expectation, and that seems to work out well when I watch netflix movies such as Rebel Moon and this movie, Badland Hunters. It was nice to see something new and different in both movies. The action scenes in both movie are also superb that are worth watching again. However, I would give just a little bit more points on Badland Hunters since it has shorter running time, but has longer action time. It's slightly more than 90 minutes, but it has a lot more actions. It's a cheesy and gory action flick that delivered what it was promising. What else do you expect? Life changing experience? Epiphany? Watch for the actions especially last 30 minutes. You won't be disappointed.
