I’ve been a fan of Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events since I was a baby child, scouring the school book sale for paperback versions of the newest releases. As you can imagine, I couldn’t wait until Netflix released their adaptation of the series. I was optimistic that it would be better than the film, which I only accepted at one point because when you’ve got nothing, you take what you can get. As someone who re-read the series over this past winter holiday, I firmly believe that Netflix couldn’t have done a better job portraying the heart and soul of these books.
Eight episodes long, this first season covers the first four books in the series: The Bad Beginning, The Reptile Room, The Wide Window, and The Miserable Mill. One of my favorite elements of the books, especially during my re-read as an adult, was how crucial books are throughout the Baudelaire children’s attempts to escape the clutches of the dastardly Count Olaf again, and again, and again. Therefore, I put together a short list of the book-related moments in the Netflix adaptation that either made me think, appreciate, or laugh.
Here are my favorite bookish moments in the television series – not a comprehensive list, just the highlights. Some of these are also present in the book series, but they were gratifying to see on camera nonetheless.
