What impresses me the most in that series is the quality of the continuity / world building / coherency. This is extremely rare in TV series in general; and doubly so in SFF TV series - to see a children show reach to that so easily makes me think little of a good amount of SFF series that do not manage it.
Also it had excellent storytelling.
And action scenes!
It was also impressive to see that the authors learned and improved in term of representation of female characters in the course of the series.
To steal a page from a_white_rain: it does not have the fandom it deserves.
Aang/Katara was boring :p
Ursa is badass. I'm especially impressed with her because what she did to save her son was not nice. She murdered a man (who was evil enough to order her child dead just to punish his son, but still).
I want to learn so much more about that world and its history.
