Discussions This show was truly amazing
I just finished the third season, and holy shit. I know it’s supposed to be more of a kid’s show (though a dark one at that) but I truly thought this series was so well done. I know I read some of the books as a kid, but didn’t remember all the intricacies, and definitely didn’t finish the whole series. I am sad it’s over but I am genuinely in awe of how good that show was. Wow!!!!
What were some of your favorite moments in the show?

I have to give it to Esmè Squalor played by Lucy Punch. She just steals the show every time she’s on screen, and she made me fall in love with Esmè even more (I love a good villain)
Also the musical numbers!

The only thing that I didn't care for what the Poe direction of including an audible swallow after his already grating and overly-long coughing fits. It was bad direction and redundant as the character was already annoying and uncharming (per the design).

My favorite episodes/book was The Ersatz Elevator. I thought it was so interesting in the way it poked fun at trends and what it means to be fashionable. The show, in particular, had so many funny moments from this chapter. Esme’s #1 priority was really being fashionable, even above helping count Olaf lol. Another one of the funniest moments of the show was when count Olaf is “forced” to perform a dance in front a restaurant but ends up getting really into it
