Live action remakes of animation usually aren't good and I don't look forward to this Netflix adaptation. It also doesn't inspire much faith in this show either when Konietzko and DiMartino were originally involved and going to be showrunners, but then left over creative differences and Netflix not giving them the control over the series they wanted.
It seems like an obvious "this is probably going to be terrible" when the original creators voluntarily left the project because they weren't allowed to run the show like they wanted.

I still don't get why people harp on LoK so much as being unwatchable and terrible. Yeah, it has flaws like focusing too much on character drama and romance, but I enjoyed it for the most part and it's not like AtLA didn't have flaws. The thing that bugged me the most about AtLA was the lion turtle and energy bending cop out so Aang doesn't have to directly kill someone while ignoring that he's already been involved with battles where people were certainly killed even if it wasn't on screen like knocking soldiers off a mountain in "The Northern Air Temple" and it's really doubtful that no soldiers or citizens were killed when they invaded the Fire Nation Capital during the eclipse.
A lot of people who hate LoK just seem like they're wanting it to be AtLA too much. They take place in the same setting, but AtLA has an overarching save the world plot with a clear goal at the end while LoK's story is more about political issues and conflict arising in a world where spirits are tangible things and minority of people have super powers while the world is becoming industrialized and shifting towards science and capitalism being more common. Neither plot really seems bad to me, but they are tonally different and I can see why some people may not like LoK for that reason.

It's pretty bad. The setting for The Dragon Prince starts out interesting but the biggest thing that drags the show down is that the story has this weird vegan stance regarding Dark Magic that isn't adequately justified when compared with what we're actually shown. It's treated as evil to use it even though it's made clear that plants and non sapient animals can be used for components and while it can be dangerous for the user trained mages appear to have little to no issue with it. It's the only form of magic that humans can naturally use so it really comes off as just the Elves and Dragons (who have innate magic power) being racist against humans. It's just most people aren't going to object to what's no worse than how animals are used for food and resources in the real world.
Dark Magic is clearly shown as being useful such as sacrificing a deer to cure quadriplegia and killing a lava monster that doesn't show any signs of sapience to avert a famine that would have killed tens of thousand at minimum. It also seems contradictory to the "Dark Magic = Evil" thing when the main character, Callum, only gets access to Sky Magic... because he used Dark Magic.
Other than that there's weird diversity stuff in it too like there being a deaf human general on the front lines (and unlike Toph she has no powers to compensate), one of the kingdoms having two lesbian queens and no king without really explaining how heirs and succession works in that context
(Rayla was also raised by a gay couple after the death of her parents), and a minor androgynous character with they/them pronouns.
