I saw this show and I must say it's really quite horrid. It is sickly depressing, gloom-fully dark, and something that I feel like just turning away from. I'd rather be watching something much more pleasant, and I suggest you guys do the same.
(But all inside-jokes aside, it's FANTASTIC! I think it does a great job adapting the books while also adding some extra details that were mentioned but we never saw first hand in the books. Also, it's a plus that Lemony Snicket is actually producing and writing most of the episodes! Feels like his actual vision for the story is coming to life. Can't wait to see Season 2! )
