6. The Creepy CGI Baby - A Series Of Unfortunate Events

Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events was one of 2017's funniest shows, but it also featured some of the year's most offputting small-screen CGI, employed to jarring effect to enhance young Sunny Baudelaire's (Presley Smith) screen presence.

Due to a presumed combination of child labour laws and safety concerns, there are countless scenes throughout the show where Sunny's face has clearly been treated with CGI, either to perhaps evoke a reaction the actress wasn't able to, or have her perform an action unsafe for a baby actor.

Either way, the close-ups routinely look quite disturbing, and though it at least suits the tone of the show somewhat aptly, it nevertheless feels like Netflix should've stumped up a little more cash for it to fit the slick, high-quality sheen of just about everything else on the show.
