          Ok, so Korra: season 1 is fine, season 2 is hot trash, seasons 3 and 4 are actually quite good. If you can stomach season 2, I'd recommend giving it another shot.

          That said, the politics even for the good seasons range from "ok for a kids show" to "actually awful"

              The politics were probably the least bad in season 2, but they were still somehow the most frustrating.

              The evil villain does a colonialism because he wants to literally destroy all light in the world? How about he just does it because he's a greedy prick and/or actually believes that the Southern Tribe is being grossly irresponsible? Turning him into a moustache-twirling villain just makes colonialism seem like much less of a real issue. It all ends up so flattened, and the fight starts being about metaphysical Light and Darkness and stops being about colonialism.

                  The way they treated Zaheer in Season 3 also makes it REAL clear that they need theory
