Just finished Season 1...I quite enjoyed it. I admit i was always skeptical. Back when it first aired i tuned in to maybe the first 2 episodes and was kind of turned off by the steampunk vibes and how far technology advanced since we last saw the world. I just generally preferred torches and villages to flashlights and skyscrapers. But I found this first season quite enjoyable overall.

I like Korra. She's not Aang, which is a positive since we've already seen a pacifist, unsure of himself Avatar. Korra being more physically attuned and headstrong but less spiritual and patient makes for the same interesting unbalance in character but in reverse. And since there was no time displacement where she was lost for 100 years, its cool to see how teachers have attempted to mold her into what they think the avatar should be. It's doubly cool that some of these teachers are kin to the previous Avatar like Katara and Tenzin.
Of all the side characters I liked Bolin the most. He's a normal feeling goofball where the humor seems to come natural. Lin would probably be my second fave mostly because she's a total badass. The rest are fine, but I wasn't a huge fan of the love triangle between Korra, Mako and Asami down the stretch. I completely get that people are fickle, especially with young love, but at some point I just wanted them to make up their mind for more than an episode. Amon was a really cool villain, and his backstory with Tarrlok and the eventual end to both of them was easily the most emotional part of the season.
Overall I quite enjoyed it...and am finding out Im actually glad it feels different than The Last Airbender, where initially I was concerned it was gonna be too different.
