Now that there have been seven seasons in the Avatar universe, here is how I would rank them in terms of overall quality (along with a few notes as to why):
1) ATLA Book 2: Earth
- Extremely consistent -- "The Swamp" and "Avatar Day" are the only episodes that come to mind that were below average
- Fantastic character development for Zuko
- The most re-watchable season, with extremely entertaining episodes like "The Blind Bandit," "Bitter Work," and "The Chase"
- Introduction of Azula, Toph, Mai, and Ty Lee
- Fantastic "Empire Strikes Back" season finale
- Culmination of Zuko's series-long story arc in "Day of Black Sun"
- Zuko field trip episodes
- Humanizing the Fire Nation
- Seriously kickass season/series finale in "Sozin's Comet"
- Extremely consistent
- Compelling villains
- Return of airbenders
- Phenomenal action sequences
- Character development for Lin and Su
- Culmination of Jinora's mini character arc
- A deeply personal journey about Korra
- A fitting series finale
- Standout episodes, "Korra Alone" and "The Last Stand"
- Magical reintroduction into the Avatar universe
- Compelling villain in Amon
6) LOK Book 2: Spirits
- Weak first half of the season, but solid second half
- "Beginnings" and all of the spirit world episodes
- Varrick hilarity
7) ATLA Book 1: Water
- Humor skewed toward younger viewers
- Standout episodes: "The Storm" and "The Blue Spirit"
And here is how I would rank the season finales in terms of my personal enjoyment:
- ATLA Book 3: Fire ("Sozin's Comet")
- LOK Book 4: Balance ("Day of the Colossus/The Last Stand")
- ATLA Book 2: Earth ("The Guru/Crossroads of Destiny")
- ATLA Book 1: Water ("Siege of the North")
- LOK Book 2: Spirits ("Darkness Falls/Light in the Dark")
- LOK Book 3: Change ("Venom of the Red Lotus")
- LOK Book 1: Air ("Endgame")
