Finally, we are seeing the books in video. And Netflix did an absolutely amazing job of capturing exactly what we loved about the books. The uniqueness, silliness, and dark humor throughout. I remember being so disappointed with the 2004 release because it was so different than what I was expecting. But this version did not disappoint. Each character is authentic and true to what we remembered in the book series. Love Aunt Josephine's constant talk of grammar. Something intense and serious happening and she can't help but cut in with a correction. I laughed at the "literal" and "figurative" explanations and all the extensive describing of terms which matched the book themes perfectly. My favorite character in the series is Phil. Such an optimist and was nice seeing the actor cast for the part. I'm am very much anticipating next season as I've already watched this once through, twice, and am planning to watch again now that I've seen what others are commenting on. Amazing job, Netflix and crew!

I don't know why, but you fell obligated to watch the episode until the end. It's not entertainment. The series is good, for sure, but it's not funny to watch. You fell tired of watching it. It's a kind of funny, well acted, and stressful.

It seemed like it was going to take off I started watching it and only watched one episode so far my sister who watched with me didn't like it whatsoever she sayed it seemed quite childish she didn't seem to get the jokes of the show it was a great show just Mandy not for all people and tastes keep that in mind when choosing to watch

After I realized that "Count Olaf" is "Barney Stinson" I couldn´t take it serious any more. At least in the minutes after I realized it, i really saw only Barney....

A Series Of Unfortunate Events has become Netflix's newest series. The show is a based on the of 13 book series written by Lemony Snicket. The show takes you on the journey of the young Baudelaire children. For the viewers who have not yet read the books here is a brief intro of the first book and first episode. The story begins when the Baudelaire’s parents die in a tragic fire and the kids are sent to live with a disciplinable men who is after the large Fortune that they had inherited from their parents. The show is a mysterious genre that is geared towards young adults. The standards of the viewers who have read the books is higher than the ones who have not. The readers have insight and have an idea of what is going to happen based on the books The readers would expect A Series Of Unfortunate Events to follow the book's best as possible and be full of mysterious clues for the viewers to discover while watching. The writer Daniel Handler has a huge role in the books. He takes on one of the main character roles which is the narrator. The narrator goes by the name Lemony Snicket. Lemony Snicket’s role is talking through what is happening in the story and giving insight to upcoming events. The show could not be a show without having Lemony Snicket. It is highly important to include him. A Series Of Unfortunate Events includes the narrator in the show which is a great thing to do on their part. The issue is Lemony Snicket placement during the show. There are times when Lemony Snicket is placed in the show when it is not appropriate for him to be there. An example of this is in the 2 second episode titled The the reptile **** kids are having a moment with their Uncle Montgomery. Montgomery says “Kids no harm will come to you in the reptile room” Then the cameras zooms out and Lemony Snicket is their sitting in a chair in the same scene and he says “ But little did they know the harm would come in reptile room”. Lemony Snicket is guiding the viewers just like he did in the books but it does not look nice and neat in the show like it sounded in the books. What I would do is have Lemony Snicket appear at the beginning of every episode and at the end and maybe in the middle when it was important to do this. I would not have Lemony Snicket in the middle every episode like the series does .It does not make very much sense for him to appear in the middle of the episodes because the viewers are watching what is happening to the children and for that to be interrupted by Lemony Snicket’s it makes the show look look not well put together. What readers of the books would enjoy about this series is the role the creators gave to Sunny the youngest Baudelaire child. For those who do not know Sunny is an infant so some people might be asking how the creators could give her a part with lines when she is so little and in real life does not talk. People might also ask what would a baby have to say and why is it important to give her role instead of just having her be a accessory. What the creators did was a creative and smart way to give sunny a voice. They give Sunny subtitles whenever it was necessary for her to talk. Every time Sunny has something to say the viewers could read the comments on the screen and Violent her sister would translate to the other characters in the show so everyone would know what she is saying. What the creators also did with the role is have half the actor baby and half CGI which helped out when scene called for stunts that the baby would not be safe doing. Sunny the baby also with the help of CGI used her face and body reaction when the scene called for it. For example when some adult would say something unintelligible sunny would make a face of disgust. Giving Sunny such a big role made the series so much better it added comedy and showed how the world of the Baudelaire Children is such a different place the world we live in. Their world is full of mystery and secrets. The T.V show of the A Series Of Unfortunate Events does a great job and makes the book well. The show follows the book guidelines and adds it’s own details and ideas which makes this show work perfectly.
