The Odyssey is the obvious ticket this week, and for once the obvious call is the right one — a 8.0 from early audiences is rare air. Moana at 5.9 is strictly a kids-in-the-house situation. Quietly, the best-rated thing in the country is Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender on Paramount Plus — 9.4 from viewers.
