It's been 13 years since the movie adaptation of Lemony Snicket's tale of the three Baudelaire orphans, which makes it great timing for another stab at it.

TV, and Netflix in particular, seems like a better fit for the series than a movie, and from all the trailers and teasers they really appear to have nailed the tone of the books.

Neil Patrick Harris is spot-on casting as Count Olaf, and with the eight-episode first season tackling the first four books, there's room for a lot of fun with this one.
