Jan 17, 2023I don't know what it is but this is my favorite season of series of unfortunate events I think it's because I had to watch it a whole bunch because I didn't really like season one and I had to wait such a damn long time for season three so this is my favorite season five stars for season 22 taken away for the episode where they go to the Academy the vile village and that's pretty much it
-
May 27, 2022The second season is not any worse than the first; if there was a way to put six stars on a review I would. Did not disappoint, and the books were covered marvelously.
-
Jan 02, 2022(all seasons) Although the narration seemed a bit much in the first episodes and it took me a while to get used to the aesthetics of the show, this reimagining of the classic book series is a definite winner that certainly holds its own, with a great, wacky sense of humour and a really good cast, from which the absolutely terrific Neil Patrick Harris stands out. And, especially in the second and third seasons, the show manages to get across all the suspense and drama in a very powerful way.
-
Mar 24, 2021Season 2 builds on the groundwork laid in the sadly short first season, revealing new and exotic locales, surprising character moments, and some of the show's best two-episode arcs - all narrated by the shrewd and grief-stricken Lemony Snicket.
-
Feb 19, 2021In the style of Lemony Snicket Dear Readers once again this season like the last has dastardly villains, violence actions and clever TV character actor and a shocking ending but hell if it isn't entertaining

May 18, 2019A Series of Unfortunate Events has always suffered from a single problem, in every form it's taken. This problem manifests itself more clearly than ever in the Netflix Series, and the latest season offers more of the same. The quirky dialogue becomes annoying and dull. The slow pacing becomes even slower. The oddly narrow style of gothic and absurdist humor becomes grating and obtuse to the point that I have to play Tetris in the background to make it through an episode. It touches in themes like loss and grief, as a series of such a title should, but never says anything about them beyond a forcefully-delivered joke and an awkward pause, passed off as stylistic comedy. Neil Patrick Harris carries the show as the most entertaining person on the screen, but even he seems muted at times by the iron fist of the QUIRK. The only impressive feat of storytelling the show manages is how consistent each technical aspect of the show is with the next. There's virtually no nuance to anything. The cinematography seems inspired, if by anything, by Wes Anderson's striking simplicity, but without any motivation. The set design is about as interesting as it can within the confines of the dialogue, which practically describes each setting for us. Now hold on, I'm about to talk about the soundtrack. The music is baseline in its emotional power, lacking any nuance or insight. There are new thematic and textural ideas for each wacky situation the kids find themselves in, but I still beat my head over my desk wishing for any level of harmonic interest. Even beyond compositional uninspiration, the mix is completely flat. Look.... it's all "fine" soundtrack music (which by all accounts is NOT fine but we don't need to get into that here), but it's given the spotlight far more than it deserves and the show suffers every time. This all stems from the fact that the show's humorous angle on every situation provide neither authenticity nor insight, but only a baseline satire that parallels a mid-level SNL sketch. The drudging pacing, surface-deep thematics, and artistic flatline come together for a near-perfect adaptation of its source material in the most disappointing way.
-
Mar 12, 2019Second season and definately the second best in really every category. It had the potential to be better than season 3 but I think the Carnivorous Carnival just pulled it down a bit. All in all still a 4.8 star season!
-
Feb 18, 2019The delightful absurdity and dark humor continues in S2 as the future of the Baudelaire orphans looks as bleak as ever with Count Olaf's clever schemes getting crazier and weirder with every episode.
-
Feb 10, 2019Being a fan of the books, I am very surprised that they were able to take the greatness of the original series, and make a fun and incredible television show.
-
Feb 03, 20192nd season lagged a bit... but I do enjoy what the show is aiming to do.
