Lemony Snicket: Desventuras em Série

The show stands on it's own, a wonderful silly and atmospheric piece of work. It has well written jokes and a good story line. It will take you on an incredible adventure as we get to follow the Baudelaire orphans and their beloved count Olaf. It has a bit of dark but yet silly humor, and all the actors give an outstanding performance! There were very few flaws and one thing that did bother was from time to time the jokes were a bit dry. But most of the time it was an absolutely wonderful and hysterical adventure! I can proudly recommend this Netflix original to anyone who wants a bit a of a different story or just wants to watch a great show with laughter and excitement through out! To all those who were a fan of the books I can say that you will enjoy each and every episode! 9/10

I have never read the books....nor have I seen the Jim Carrey movie. So, when I saw this come up on Netflix, I wasn't very interested.

Then, I decided to check it out...with my kids. Wow.... I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thought NPH was great...and loved the kids.

Then I decided to check out the first book on Kindle, since it was on sale. I am totally surprised how similar...almost verbatim.... the series is to the book. I think that is wonderful.

I've seen comments about CGI.... the only thing that really distracted me was some shots where they digitally put Sunny's face in. I believe that only happened in one scene.

Just finished marathoning through all 8 episodes today, and that was super fun! Neil Patrick Harris was obviously the highlight of the show, as well as Mr Poe, the narrator, Sunny, oh hell pretty much every character here was portrayed well!

The comedy is always there, even when something more serious happens (like a character murdered or something) there is still some funny joke or line said that's always lightening up the mood. The visuals were great as well. Sure some of the effects seemed fake, but overall the scenarios and general cgi were pretty good, way better than most shows on television.

Ending of the season 1 was left kind of opened and unsolved, hope they pick it up for a season 2 otherwise it will suck.

At times the show felt a little dragged out and longer than it should have. Some episodes could have easily been 25 minutes but instead ran for 47 minutes and thus although were still funny, you can still feel like they just kept putting in filler content in order to feel longer.

This isn't a show to watch and expect intensity or heart felt drama. This is a show you watch if you like quick pun jokes and just something really fresh, as there's no real TV show like it.

9/10 if the series continues.

This show is either your cup of tea, or it is not. The expression 'your cup of tea' here has nothing to do with hot beverages, but is rather used as a metaphor. Tea comes in countless flavours, which is perfectly normal considering that there are countless types of people. And if you don't like a certain flavour, you don't like it.

Same goes for this show. If it's not your cup of tea, it's not. But if it is your cup of tea, it is a BIG one. I have not enjoyed a show this much since... ever. Let's just say it's the greatest cup of tea I've ever had.

The best mistake I've ever made is picking up the first book of A Series of Unfortunate Events three years ago and reading it. I got so into this series I read every single book in a few months, and I got so invested all I could wish for was a TV series or a movie covering every book.

When I watched the movie, I was disappointed, although I should have expected as much from a 90 minute movie containing the three first books. Especially since the rest of the books were so, so good.

And then I started to hear whispers. Rumors, even, about Netflix creating a new show called "A Series of Unfortunate Events" which would cover every book... and I was figuratively jumping for joy because I was so happy.

The first season was truly a vague, fabulous display that was, I daresay, even BETTER than the books. And the second season... Don't even get me started, for I would still be here tomorrow documenting why it was so amazing and satisfying to watch. I truly hope season three will be a blast as well.

Knowing the details of this story's end, I am not curious about the ending at all. But I am excited about what's to come, and how many more musical songs will be sang before this tragic tale comes to an end.

Do I recommend this series? That I cannot answer, for I do not know if you, dear reader, prefer black or green tea or don't drink tea at all.

I want to like this show. I really do. And I know you want to have this show close to the books, but my god if I have to see another episode where no one can tell who the bloody hell Count Olaf is I am seriously going to have a stroke. This show is not for people with high anxiety and just can't deal with shows playing off on your disbelief. Each episode is basically the same. The kids are great, but I can't keep watching the show like this. I just can't take it.
