A Series of Unfortunate Events (Netflix) – Netflix is tackling another revival/remake with its latest offering. I say remake because, if you’ll remember, there was once a pretty terrible movie version of this story with Jim Carrey in the lead. Thankfully the show is much better and Neil Patrick Harris is pretty spectacular as the evil, plotting Count Olaf. The story’s the same – the three orphaned Baudelaire siblings get shuffled from family to family as their greedy guardian maneuvers to take their sizable inheritance — but word is the Netflix version is better-told and just plain fun, as long as you ignore the similarities between a narcissistic con man who likes to bend the truth to suit his own needs and our current president elect.
