Overrated This show is honestly pretty bad. I only read part of the first book but I've heard good things about it. It probably is much worse than the books. The people who made it claimed that it's darker than the movie which is just completely wrong. I mean just watch both of them and you will see what I mean. I just can't stand it, it has bad acting, bad dialogue, bad effects, everything is so obviously a set it's like they weren't trying and the only thing funny about it is how laughably bad it can get. I will say that season 1 was the best season.
The actors are bad, there are only two people I actually recognise who are the girl who plays Violet. (I can't be bothered to learn her name) She was in a movie called Nine Lives, she isn't very good in that either. The other actor is Neil Patrick Harris who has the only good performance in this show. I found Count Olaf quite interesting and the pretty much the only good character.
I don't recommend this for anyone of any age. As the intro says "LOOK AWAY!!"
