Among the rare series with an evergreen, timeless appeal, “Avatar: The Last Airbender” is particularly special. Despite having originally aired on Nickelodeon, and despite being marketed as a children’s title, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko created an epic with an appeal that spans generations.
Fifteen years after its premiere, all 61 episodes of the animated series arrived on Netflix in May without much fanfare, save for the fandom sounding the call and announcing its availability.
