I was a little leery of [Patrick] Warburton in the role, but he's pitch-perfect, dialing down his usual bluster just enough.

A Netflix binge will make you happy but believe us when we say there are no happy endings here.

A Series of Unfortunate Events is perversely joyous.

Although the Baudelaire children are not villains, in its own way, this show has some similarities to that film, handling the mix between pure genre and down-to-earth coming of age story with incredible adeptness.

The only consistently enjoyable thing about A Series of Unfortunate Events is Patrick Warburton playing narrator Lemony Snicket.
January 11, 2017
A little too Lemony, but genial, well-produced and presumably faithful to the Lemony Snicket vision.
January 13, 2017
Lemony Snicket is dark and funny, campy and whimsical, based on the book series about the three Baudelaire orphans, trying to elude greedy and/or oblivious relatives until they can inherit their fortune.

It is a world without magic, where all adults are either patronising bureaucrats or deranged arsonists. The few kind-hearted exceptions invariably end up dead. In other words, it's an utter delight.
January 05, 2017
Just as the blunt-in-message and beautiful-to-behold production design works in the series' favor by leaning into its allusions, A Series of Unfortunate Events proves as inspirational and endearing as it claims to be forlorn and heartbreaking.
January 10, 2017
It's never as clever as it wants to be, and the dark, dry sense of humor never shines because it relies on Handler's dialogue instead of sharp line-reading or editing to make its point.
