A Series of Unfortunate Events
AdventureComedyDramaFamilyFantasyMystery46 min per episode
After their parents die in a fire, the Baudelaire children are sent from one unsuitable guardian to another while the sinister Count Olaf keeps resurfacing to get his hands on their inheritance. Neil Patrick Harris gives Olaf a theatrical streak under every new disguise, while Malina Weissman and Louis Hynes carry the story as older siblings Violet and Klaus, with Presley Smith as baby Sunny. As the orphans follow scattered clues about their parents’ death, the mystery widens into a chain of secret organizations, family histories, and narrowly escaped disasters, all told with a dry, storybook sense of doom.
