Avatar: Seven Havens Episodes 1-3 Recap and Review

This review contains full spoilers for Avatar: Seven Havens Season 1, Episodes 1-3, which debut October 9 on Paramount+.

The experience of watching the first new Avatar series in 12 years — Avatar Aang movie and Netflix’s live-action adaptation aside — is an overwhelming one. While there have been numerous (pretty excellent) comic book tie-ins and extensions released in the intervening decade plus, insuring that the world created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko has never fully gone away, they’ve all felt like mere footsteps from the stellar runs of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra — reinterpretations of information we already had on hand instead of something really truly new.

Avatar: Seven Havens, on the other hand, is really truly new. Set 225 years after the events of Legend of Korra in a post-apocalyptic landscape where all that remains of humanity is based in the Seven Havens of the title, the show evolves the animation style and setting in a way that’s closer to Miyazaki or recent surreal hits like Scavengers Reign or Common Side Effects rather than what we might expect from an Avatar series.

But even with the different animation, there’s something both alien and familiar about watching Seven Havens. On one hand, you’ve got a kid Avatar in Pavi (Saheli Khan) — more on that in a second — just like Aang in the original series. But unlike Aang, who had a very clear path forward (stop the Fire Lord, save the world), Pavi has been living on the outskirts with only bugs, rocks, and her cat-monkey (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker, the voice of Appa and Momo in the original series) as friends, with no clear path to saving a world that maybe doesn’t want to be saved.
