A Series of Unfortunate Events is a 2019 Netflix series about three children named Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire, whose home burned down in a mysterious fire, killing both their parents. 

They are sent to live with a guardian, Count Olaf, who is a notorious villain. After Olaf tries to get Violet to marry him, the children are sent to live with many different guardians and parental figures, but everywhere they go, Count Olaf follows. His obsession with the children stems from  the enormous fortune that their parents left for them.

Although A Series of Unfortunate Events tells a great story, it still has its strengths and weaknesses. Some great things about this series is it features a lot of interesting plot lines and character choices. But it can be repetitive at times.

The series is adapted from the book series, so viewers may already be familiar with the plot.

Overall, A Series of Unfortunate Events tells a great story, and viewers should definitely give it a try.
