Netflix’s ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ has shot straight to No. 1 — but critics aren’t convinced

Netflix’s new live-action adaptation of “Avatar: The Last Airbender” is one of the streamer’s biggest bets of 2024. So, it’s not a huge surprise to see it rocket straight into the Netflix most-watched list, and it’s even claimed the coveted No. 1 spot. 

The eight-part first season dropped last week (Feb. 22), and already ranks above popular hits like “Love is Blind”, “Resident Alien” and “One Day”. Although, its rapid rise to the top of the service’s library was almost a foregone conclusion. Netflix has been heavily promoting its Avatar show in recent weeks likely to ensure its sizeable investment wasn’t wasted.
