A Series of Unfortunate Events Season 1 Web Series Cast, Episodes, Release Date, Trailer and Ratings
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, a new family thriller based on a series of books, is very particular about how it is intended to be seen by its audiences: a chilling adventure full of terrible events that befall the three Baudelaire children, which viewers should avoid at all costs. It's fitting that the opening song, delivered by Neil Patrick Harris, playing the role of evil, scheming, yet at times oblivious to his own faults Count Olaf, is aptly titled Look Away, and finds him crooning in a fourth-wall breaking fashion, "The show will wreck your evening, your whole life, and your day."
