![]() ![]() ![]() We’ll Give You One Last Chance.Īaaand here you are, still reading. Still, perhaps, wondering whether this show-in spite its insistence that it’s not right for anyone of sound mind-just might be right for you. And yet, in spite of these warnings, here you are. Yes, A Series of Unfortunate Events cautions viewers against itself with the same alacrity that Plugged In reserves for Seth Rogen/James Franco movies. ![]() “Look away, look away/This show will wreck your evening, your homelife and your day/Every single episode is nothing but dismay.” While author/narrator Lemony Snicket tells us that it’s his sad, somber duty to unspool the sad, somber tale of the Baudelaire children (14-year-old Violet, 12-year-old Klaus and, of course, the sharp-toothed infant, Sunny), he also reminds us that “you in the audience have no such obligation, and I would advise all our viewers to turn away immediately and watch something more pleasant instead.” If you fail to heed Snicket’s dire caution, at least listen to the show’s theme song. Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events tells us, quite explicitly, that we all have better uses for our time. ![]()
