I would love to be able to run a database query on IMDb to find out if any TV series has a higher rating that Avatar: The Last Airbender. This show has an astonishingly high average rating of approximately 8.6. The only TV show I can imagine that might touch that is Game of Thrones.
So, I looked it up, and according to IMDb themselves:
Game of Thrones has an average rating of 9.2
Avatar: The Last Airbender has an average rating of 9.3
I'm not sure how IMDb tracks that, because if you average out all of the individual episode ratings for Avatar:TLA, you do not get 9.3. But whatever. It's their data.
What might be more astonishing than the overall rating for Avatar:TLA is that for all three seasons, the last three episodes got increasingly higher ratings. Meaning every season ended on an upward trend. Whereas the last four episodes of GOT are: 7.5, 5.5, 5.9, 4.0, Avatar:TLA ends with 9.0, 9.5, 9.8, 9.9.
I can't think of another TV series that is better executed than Avatar: The Last Airbender. It is worth the watch. Every season is better than the previous one and the "bad episodes" aren't, of which there are very few, aren't terrible. They're just average compared to other shows.
