Trivia
The character of Count Olaf has a distinguishing tattoo of an eye on his ankle. In 2018, while a guest on the National Public Radio quiz show "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!," Neil Patrick Harris said that during the first season of the show, the makeup artists had to apply and reapply a temporary version of the tattoo, but between the first and second seasons of the show, he actually got a real version of the tattoo--so whenever Count Olaf's tattoo is visible during season 2, that is Harris's actual tattoo.

Goofs
In the theme song it is mentioned that the show is based on the series by Lemony Snicket. The book series was actually written by Daniel Handler. However, Lemony Snicket is his pen name, therefore the series is, actually, created by Lemony Snicket.

Quotes
Violet Baudelaire: Why do you hate us so much?
Count Olaf: Because it's fun!

Crazy credits
The opening credits sequence and lyrics of the theme song change according to the content of the episodes.

9/10

The unfortunate story of the Baudelaire orphans seems to have finally gotten a worthy adaptation.

The show stands on it's own, a wonderful silly and atmospheric piece of work. It has well written jokes and a good story line. It will take you on an incredible adventure as we get to follow the Baudelaire orphans and their beloved count Olaf. It has a bit of dark but yet silly humor, and all the actors give an outstanding performance! There were very few flaws and one thing that did bother was from time to time the jokes were a bit dry. But most of the time it was an absolutely wonderful and hysterical adventure! I can proudly recommend this Netflix original to anyone who wants a bit a of a different story or just wants to watch a great show with laughter and excitement through out! To all those who were a fan of the books I can say that you will enjoy each and every episode! 9/10
