The start of the tragic history of the Baudelaire children, orphaned by a fire and then persecuted by the unscrupulous wicked Count Olaf.

Delicious black comedy, weird situations, outlandish characters, a deadpan narrator who constantly advises against watching this tale of woe. A unique experience. This TV series has the advantage of the active participation of the source books' author Lemony Snicket (real name Daniel Handler).

A well produced Netflix series which creates a fantasy world in some ways Victorian in feel, but yet modern.
