This is a know-your-kid situation that may require you to screen each episode before your kids watch.įor a story that begins with a main character's fervent warning to viewers to "look away" lest the frightful show utterly wreck their lives, it leaves you wanting more with each episode's end. Even so, many moments celebrate the resilient human spirit in the orphans' ability to make the best of these situations. The show begins with the possibly distressing premise that orphaned children would be delivered to such an obviously unfit guardian as Count Olaf ( Neil Patrick Harris) and continues through a series of adults who somehow never realize the kids' actual plight. This could go either way - for kids and tweens who love spine-tinglers and a hefty dose of fantasy, it does a fantastic job bringing the characters to life for younger kids who don't like devious characters plotting against innocents, it will be a bit too scary. The show dedicates two episodes to each of the series' first four books, allowing time for character and plot development. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Parents need to know that A Series of Unfortunate Events is a TV series based on the popular books by Lemony Snicket (the pseudonym of Daniel Handler). ![]()
