By Kyeland Jackson —
Netflix, afire with their successes, chose to approach a contemporary classic in Lemony Snickett’s “A Series of Unfortunate Events.”
I admit, I held serious doubts towards the decision and casting. But with Netflix’s rendition, a fantastic show shines through a dreary plot. What the show lacks due to repetition and brevity is eclipsed by fun and wit that brings something new to Snickett fans and newcomers alike.
Plot
As warned by the series narrator, this is not a happy story.
