A Series of Unfortunate Events (2017–2019)

Very fun and enjoyable experience

[14 January 2017]

The new adaption of Lemony Snicket's a series of unfortunate events Has a lot of upside to it, with little to no downside. The energy Neil Patrick Harris brings to count Olaf is more of a playful yet serious nature, and he heads a very well bolstered cast, the acting of the children is very good, seems almost mature in their years in acting for being very young. The one hinge in this very well rounded cast, is Mr. Po, his character is the one dark spot on this show, his overall naive and somewhat child like unaccredited trust in every one of Count Olaf's goofy disguises, has played over too much and now has become somewhat of a disturbance to me, where it's almost like he just has complete ignorance too the children and just ignores their overall well being. When you get passed his flaws this show has very good writing and a very fun and playful set to it while adding in some darker yet appropriate darker scenes. An enjoyable experience to watch and it is the dark horse in Netflix's already bolstered lineup, it would be in your best interest to give this show a good shot, very happy and I hope to see a many more seasons of this fun show.
