Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe character of Count Olaf has a distinguishing tattoo of an eye on his ankle. In 2018, while a guest on the National Public Radio quiz show "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!," Neil Patrick Harris said that during the first season of the show, the makeup artists had to apply and reapply a temporary version of the tattoo, but between the first and second seasons of the show, he actually got a real version of the tattoo--so whenever Count Olaf's tattoo is visible during season 2, that is Harris's actual tattoo.
- GoofsIn the theme song it is mentioned that the show is based on the series by Lemony Snicket. The book series was actually written by Daniel Handler. However, Lemony Snicket is his pen name, therefore the series is, actually, created by Lemony Snicket.
- Quotes
Violet Baudelaire: Why do you hate us so much?
Count Olaf: Because it's fun!
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits sequence and lyrics of the theme song change according to the content of the episodes.
Featured review
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.
