It's only eight episodes, but they're an hour each, so it has exactly the same runtime. Also, the cartoon has the Great Divide, so not adapting that should have given them another 24 whole minutes to work with
The first episode was an hour, but eps 2 and 3 were less, around 40-50 mins. (I haven't watched 4-8 yet.) So there was some loss of runtime, and I understand the need to change some things to make up that time. However, (and granted I'm only three eps in) I doesn't feel like the changes that were made were made strictly for runtime reasons.
Gran-Gran giving Katara the scroll instead of her stealing it, yeah, I see that being a time saver. The overall change in Katara's personality? Not so much.
I did the math. The Netflix show barely runs 46 minutes less than the original animated series.
