Shows like Shadow and Bone: The Legend of Korra

The Legend of Korra is the series sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender. Creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino, return fans to the world of ATLA decades after the events of the first series.

Our protagonist this time is Korra, an avatar who hails from the Southern Water Tribe. Korra has been able to bend earth, fire, and water since she was four years old. Air, however, is an element that’s elusive to her. With her mastery of all four elements incomplete, Korra steals away from the protection of the White Lotus to find Tenzin, the youngest child of Aang and Katara.

Tenzin is an airbender, the first to be born in 100 years, and is the only one capable of teaching Korra how to move past what’s blocking her from mastering the element. Spoiler alert: it’s her impatience and inability to be still. Korra is cocky, confident, brash, and hotheaded when air bending requires calm and a connection to one’s spirit.

But Republic City isn’t just Tenzin’s home, it’s a thriving metropolis with a people ripe for the picking as benders and non-benders clash and tensions rise. While Korra spends her nights fighting alongside her new friends–Mako and Bolin–on a pro-bending team, the city’s unrest is being stoked by an anti-bending movement.

It’s a plot that will introduce Korra to Asami, a young engineer who’s unaware just how close she’s tied to the Equalist movement.

All four seasons of Legend of Korra are available to stream on Netflix.
