Bad
This is just bad. They try to shove too much in to each episode. They have changed pretty much everyone's personalities. Half way through and there is not even an sniff of Aangs feelings towards Katara. That was the whole reason of them getting lost in the Cave of Two Lovers. Appa has become a side note even though there was no one more important to Aang. Don't even get me started on how they portrayed Bumi. He never had malice toward Aang he just was trying to teach him to look beyond the norm.
It is painfully obvious why Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino left the project.
Yeah the bending is pretty good and worlds better than the M. Night Shyamalan but at least that fiasco was done in a couple of hours.
I Made it to episode 4 but after how the treated Bumi I am done.

Just Bad
Bumi tried to teach Aang lessons but he was not cruel to him. It just does not work that he is testing Aang after Aang knows who he is. The point of the challenges was to show Aang to look beyond the usual. Bumi was not bitter. You are just trying to put elements of series in all haphazardly and it is not working.
By now we should know that Aang is falling for Katara. It was very important for Aang and Katara's arc that they got lost in the Cave of Two Lovers.
Katara has the waterbending but we have yet to see Aang do a lick of waterbending. This show should have never been made. It is with good reason that Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino left the project. I am done with this show.

Oh My
I did not think it could get worse. Now we have the mechanist in Omashu instead of the Northern Air Temple. And Jet. They are destroying this show one episode at a time.
They are trying to combine to many story lines and it just is not working. Only reason I am giving it the stars I did is because they are at least trying to go with the basic storyline. They have also done a decent job of the cgi for the bending.
If you have never seen the cartoon then maybe you would give this higher marks but I just cannot. They could have easily split book one in to 2 parts and made 2 seasons out of it. I think fans would have been happier with this.

Getting Worse
The acting is not very good.
Kyoshi should not be the first Avatar for Aang to see. They got her character right and that is why. Aang needed to see the compassion that Roku brought before seeing the all to serious and sometimes cold Kyoshi.
In no way would Prince Zuko ever consider working with Comander Zhou. Zhou thought Zuko, as a banished person, was beneath him and showed him no respect even as the Prince
How can you have the world of Avatar without all the exotic animals. Where's the the otter penguin, or the Unagi. You can't just speed run to the end.
There is no doubt why the showrunners left this project. I am not sure I will make it through this series.
At least M. Night Shyamalan's version was over in a couple of hours.

Only OK
Oh there is so much to unpack. I do like that they showed the destruction of the Southern Air Temple. This Is definitely not a young kids show like the animated version. That being said I think this so far doesn't have heart of the original. I think that making Aang a more serious character is a big mistake. You can tone down some of the goofiness without completely changing their characters.
I liked the fight between Sokka and Zuko better. A little more realistic than the more comical one in the cartoon yet still showed Sokka, at this point, is way outmatched.
I did not like the revelation at the Southern Air Temple when Aang found Monk Gyatso. When he goes in to the Avatar state he doesn't calm down on his own. It was Katara that brings him back from his anger. It shows this several times throughout the original series, that the connection between him and Katara is what brings him back from his rage.
Special effects are awesome. The acting could be better though and to much exposition in this episode. I will keep watching and hope for the best.
Altered Carbon (2018)
Great show
Season 1 and two definitely has a different feel but that doesn't make season 2 any less good. Change of main actor is expected in a show where you can jump from one body or sleeve to another. Liked the side story of Poe and his disentigrating matrix also. It is more of a traditional scifi than season 1 but that doesn't make it any less good.
The Remaining (2014)
As Advertised
Unlike the people that were complaining that they didn't know this was a Christian movie, I read the description and watched the trailer. It clearly mentions judgment day and the preacher calls it the Rapture. I had no doubt what this movie was about. I also enjoyed that it was a Christian themed movie. Not a 100% biblical it still gave a sense of the rapture. For Christians that like the horror genre this was a good little movie about the choices we make even if it causes us suffering, we have to choose.
The acting was okay for this type of movie. The special effects were pretty good too.
