Your completely missing the reason why the adults are portrayed as stupid. Their stupidity is meant to invoke the frustration that children feel when adults don’t listen to them and that is a running theme throughout the series. It is very well done as it makes it obvious enough that viewers such as yourself find the frustration and annoyance that you described in their behavior. That is also why the children in the carnival, along with every other child in the series, is portrayed as extremely intelligent and capable. That’s the whole point!
And also the fact that it's a children's novel but I can see where he's coming from. They're times that I straight up don't believe the fact that the adults are this stupid but that's just me.
I would argue that is not the base point, the point is that anyone with a pure moral code can see how nearly every human in society just goes with the flow and pretends like wealthy people having 10 meals while children starve is ridiculous. You wanna be annoyed? Look at the world with honesty. It’s annoying.
That being the point does not excuse blatantly flawed storytelling; that excuse was fine for the first season but the utter absurdity of this season makes it non valid. It's utterly ridiculous storytelling.
I think it's important to realize that Snicket us not just a narrator and that every interruption is used to help illustrate his character, which is in itself a crucial part of the story
@@drclef-fj3wd that's because he's telling the story, in the universe of asoue, the Baudelaires exist in the same world as him, and he's telling the story to find them again, but the actual author wanted Lemony Snicket to be a character, yes the story is about the Baudelaires, but Lemony Snicket is a part of the story, both the narrator of the story and a character in the story
Esme left the restaurant because she is evil but still cares about being in and fashion, none of that was acting.Also, they didn’t let Olaf away, they gave him to the chief of police who was actually Esme. Also, Olaf still goes after the kids because it isn’t about the fortune, it’s revenge for something you’ll learn about in season 3.
Also... you seem to have totally missed a very important point in episode 10: Count Olaf doesn’t set the tent on fire. The Baudelaires do. He gives them the impulse to do so. This is crucial to the development and understanding of the story. And it was beautifully, brilliantly executed in screen.
Adrian Olle-laprune By setting the fire, the Baudelaires' are going into the path of Count Olaf. From that point forward, it's hard to distinguish some of the Baudelaires' actions from Count Olaf's, which is one of the themes of the books further on in the series.
Timothy Bexon he persuaded them, two very different things and a key element in this world, we can choose not to do bad things, but sometimes doing bad things can make life “easier.”
Timothy Bexon but he did not take his hand away or try and put out the fire. If someone with pure morals was in the situation they would have fought back to avoid starting a fire. Wickedness leads us to bad options all the time and sometimes it’s less scary to just go with the flow even if we aren’t happy about it.
Yeah, and his husband was in the audience too :) I thought that was really cute when I found out. (It also makes Olaf's really bizarre comment about them going to wait "in my car" make a lot more sense. I'm not a fan of the line because it doesn't make any sense, even silly or absurdist sense, if you don't know that, but I'll let it slide because it was probably a lot of fun for the kids to hear.)
The whole point is that it's absurd, especially the adults, otherwise what would be the point of the children having to adapt and mature? The "good guy" organization are a cult of bookish elitists obsessed with codes. And if you've ever worked a minimum wage job, most of these adults would be little different from middle management anyway. And complaining about Mr. Poe and the kids getting a new guardian and Olaf's disguise...that's like complaining about Harry Potter always getting stuck with The Dursleys, taking a train to Hogwarts, getting into a spat with Malfoy and Snape, getting a diofferent Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher each year,catching the snitch, and defeating Voldemort's plan at the end.
1. The show is a SATIRE. It is ABSURD in purpose. It IS supposed to portray the adults stupidly. It’s not supposed to be realistic nor believable at all. It’s showing everything wrong with human beings at its highest point. 2. Lemony interrupting the story is important for understanding him as a character. The fact that he’s annoying by doing so, is also on purpose. Lemony is annoying. It’s one of the reasons he’s lost everything. And the “show don’t tell” doesn’t work here. Lemony’s comments are made to enhance his messing with language and words humor. Elements that are VITAL to the VFD philosophical principles. 3. Stop trying to make sense of the show by applying normal or standard rules. The show is not set in that world. It’s not set in a fantasy world either. 4. Pay more attention to the details. It’s in them that the story is really operating.
While I agree with the fact that Lemony is used too much, it is important to his character WHEN it is the right time which I believe is around late season 2 and the majority of season 3 if I'm correct.
@@minaexists1288 Yes, but if he wasn't portrayed like that from the very beginning, the reveal of his "real" participation in the story wouldn't be as strong. Also: the writers know it is annoying that he interrupts the story. They're making him interrupt so often, because it's supposed to drive the audience angry, eager to know the rest of the story.
I love your review dude but i realy feel like your missing the point of the series. As in the books this is a story about how grown ups are stupid and dont see anything clearly. And the series is about how there is nothing like a happy ending the series wont end on a happy note or someone getting their justice served it will end on a downer note thats the series in a nutshell tbh
You really should read the books. Some of your complaints make a bit more sense there. Like Count Olaf insisting on getting the Baudelaire’s fortune even though he has Esmé, because at this point it’s not about the fortune. I really enjoyed the series so far, and because I’d never heard of it before, I just read the whole series and absolutely loved it. To me, the adults’ stupidity wasn’t an issue, but something I got along with as part of the storytelling. I think you did a great review (this series is not that famous around youtube and it’s hard to find reviews as detailed as this), although I think you missed some of the points of the story. I think you will enjoy season 3. It may not be related but I just want to get it out of my chest: I loved the hospital book, and episode. The scene where Esmé hunts down the kids at the library of records was amazing, she looked really evil, insane and scary.
“The librarian” is Olivia . She has a name . Also it’s called the HOSTILE hospital. And violets planned death is disguised as a new operation. There was nothing wrong with these two episodes for me they were the best the stakes really got raised Apart from that great vid 😊
2:17 Olaf was a lot less cruel this season: Also Olaf: Beats his former best friend to death with a crowbar and frames a few kids for it Burns down a Hospital Puts a teenager under anesthesia forcefully for surgery and tries to force her brother to cut of her head Throws a librarian to a pack of starving lions Forces a few kids who’s life was ruined by a fire to light a fire Drops a couple kids off of a mountain It was a calm before the storm. The adults are also supposed to be stupid, Olafs plans aren’t even that smart. Your remark at 28:05 is how we’re supposed to feel.
I love how this show is more of a dark comedy, of course part of the humour me, came from being intentionally absurdist, like Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy for example, or Amazon Prime's Good Omens.
Something that i found quite cool is how Netflix makes every basic thing low budget so its like they trained our eyes to be okay with the bad cgi, like the slowly car movement in season one and such
LOL Dude, u fail at seeing the point of the series. ur review is treating it like a normal type of series, when everything you complain about is exactly the point. I was frustrated at first too,but soon realized when I wasnt laughing as much that it is not comedy, but a dark type of absurd, misery tale.
I love how you're sceptical about the Snicket file. All the people I know just assume that one of the Baudelaire's parents is alive. Its nice to see someone not assume things.
My theory is that Vice President Nero is hypnotized by Georgina Orwell and every time he hears his name he will think that he’s a good violinist and he’s smart.
Lemony snicket is showing up constantly for 3 reasons. 1 to reinforce the notion that this story is being told to us by him and is not being viewed through the children's perspective like most shows or books. 2 to explain important literary themes and difficult words that might be relevant or difficult for children. 3 to speak to the viewer in code about things that happen later in the story. An observant viewer could have guessed most major plot points in the mystery side just by watching lemonys narrerations
Bro Snicket explaining things is part of the joke. Even in the books it was overlong and unncecesarry; that's why we loved it. It was a mockery of moralistic in-your-face childrens stories.
Just something I haven't seen something mentioned below: Olaf persuing the kid's fortune isn't only about money. But you have to wait for find that out
Also the adults are meant to be dumb. It's meant to be a lesson (among many others) that kids can't just rely on adults and have to grow and think for themselves.
I really enjoyed your review. I personally prefer season 2 more but everyone has different opinions. I just found the second season to have much better acting from the Baudelaire children than the first season. I also loved how we got more information of the secret society known as VFD. I have never read the books so I know nothing about what happens to the secret society in later episodes. Overall, great job!!
two very big plot points in this story are how all the adults are incompetent while the children are smart, and that this story will *never* have a happy ending. i cant remember much about how the show portrays the latter, but i remember that in the books it constantly shoves the idea of this story not having a happy ending down your throat. after all, it is called 'a series of unfortunate events' for a reason. and the adults being idiots is meant to give you the same frustration that children have towards adults not taking them seriously. this story is written for children/teens, so this idea makes sense
Personally for me, the 2nd season became amazing from Episode 6 (the second half to Vile Village all the way to the end of the Carnivorous Carnival). It finally became dark and felt like the dread and darkness I felt from reading the books, which I loved.
This series are the best example that LIES are more acceptable for other than the TRUTH.. People didn't LISTEN they just BELIEVE WHAT THEY WANT TO BELIEVED TO..
TBH Lemmony Snickets isnt nearly as intrusive in the book series. He still shows up but it's to explain obcure words that some readers wouldn't know like erzats.
I like how he's trying so hard to find the normal sense in this show..and get frustrated because he can't and eventually saying that's a flaw Lol This dude really can't get the tone of this show, still it was enjoyable to watch
BINGE WATCH SEASON 3!?!?!?!!!!!! Edit: COOL!! Season 3 is so much different than the last 2 and I feel like u would really like it because it is so different 😉 (not kidding, promise)
My only criticism is that most of the stuff you complain about is a bunch of metaphores. You might find it annoying but it actually does have a purpose despite that. The never recognizing the disguises represents the adults who dont question authority.
I hope season 3 will be a lightbulb moment for him! I know it’s hard to grasp the dark reality this show highlights but society is gross and hypocritical. They only seem far fetched because we are viewing the story from the outside, when you place those metaphors into reality it can take a toll on you and realize how lenient adults have to let there morals be to survive in this money-loving, social norms world we have created.
Everyone in the comments is getting annoyed because he hasn't read the books. But the thing is, you shouldn't have had to read the books also to enjoy the show. From a review standpoint you shouldn't need that extra context and nuance if the show can't deliver it on it's own. This is a review of the show, things that people know from the books do not matter until they are presented in the show, and if they are done badly, then it's unfortunate, but still bad. Yes, it's meant to be ridiculous and absurd, that's the point. But that doesn't mean just because you understand WHY something is happening, that you have to enjoy seeing it happen. It's a REVIEW. That means it's an opinion. And if that's the opinion of someone who didn't grow up with the books, and is percieving the story based SOLELY on the show, then that's an entirely valid perspective of the story as it stands on it's own, don't you think?
"After two episodes there is a reduced feeling of dread and Count Olaf is less intimidating.." Bro just wait until the last half of the season. Also, Lemony Snicket is not just a narrator he is a character, so his involvement is to flesh him out.
Pleassse. Make a video about the third season and your thoughts. I found you from your first video about Season 1 compared to the film. I love your videos dearly.
Thanks so much for the kind words buddy. I REALLY appreciate it and I am so thrilled to hear that you enjoy my videos. I have not seen the third Season yet as I am working on a couple of other videos. I will start watching it soon and will then work on the video. Thanks so much for being apart of this channel for such a long time. :D
I really don’t like his use of the r slur throughout this review and him calling woman “broads” and his fundamental misunderstanding of this series and it’s themes.
literally and he has been told not to say the r slur and responded saying he won’t then goes and says it in this video. truly disappointing. any other word could be used:(
My suggestion: You should do a video about the Netflix series: The Unlisted. Also, in the first episode of The Hostile Hospital, Olaf found the Baudelaires because probably their fire engine was parked outside, or since it was the only shop in miles, Olaf assumed the Baudelaires would stop for rations.
The Ersatz Elevator was one of my favorite episodes, and that whole Cafe Salmonella sequence with the 46-course lunch was comedy GOLD, especially Olaf gagging at the gluttinous stuff pouring from the salmon pitcher, tho i think they could've handled the Baudelaire's reunion with the Quagmires a little better. In the book, all of them are crying and laughing, trying to hug each other through the bars, they're so relieved to see each other, but it doesn't feel as emotional or touching in the series
Yes I will at some point. I am very slowly editing the video whilst I am working on my other several videos. The thing is that those several videos take priority over the Series of Unfortunate Events Binge Watch.
Oooh pls carmelita and esmé were queens plus olivia made me almost ugly cry Plus, olaf wanted the Baudelaire fortune because their mother killed his father
A Series of Unfortunate Events> Harry Potter. ASOUE teaches the lesson that life does not give all the answers, not twitter and pottermore explain every little detail.
The ones in the Jim Carrey movie weren't brain dead, they were at least kind of smart. The detective did have a good reason to think it was the snake. And the kids didn't tell Mr. Poe about Captain Sham.
Well, there’s a few reasons why Olaf doesn’t just marry Esme. For one, he’s obsessed with revenge or something, and he just wants to hurt the Baudelaires specifically. Secondly, Esme’s also on the run from the Law, so it’s unlikely she’s going to have access to her fortune. Though, given how stupid all of these people are, she could just say she was kidnapped while Olaf puts a book on top of his head for a new disguise as her Lawyer or something.
I believe the kid who asked " is this Legal" was Neil Patrick Harris son, accompanied by his sister, and just right over them to the side, his husband.

Puts a teenager under anesthesia forcefully for surgery and tries to force her brother to cut of her head

This series are the best example that LIES are more acceptable for other than the TRUTH.. People didn't LISTEN they just BELIEVE WHAT THEY WANT TO BELIEVED TO..
TBH Lemmony Snickets isnt nearly as intrusive in the book series. He still shows up but it's to explain obcure words that some readers wouldn't know like erzats.
Man talking bout how he wants a fictional child too be beat in part two of book 5
The series is really good I binged it like 70 times
Fun fact: The kids in the carnivorous carnival who ask if it was legal were Neil Patrick Harris’s children and behind them was His Husband
I hate that even though they think count Olaf is dead (even though he’s evil), they put Baudelaire in prison
I like how he's trying so hard to find the normal sense in this show..and get frustrated because he can't and eventually saying that's a flaw
Lol
This dude really can't get the tone of this show, still it was enjoyable to watch
"Is this legal?"
-Random Kid At Circus Preformance
Gideon is living the thug life!!
5:45 SPOILERS
Carmelita Spats got her parents killed by count Olaf lol
BINGE WATCH SEASON 3!?!?!?!!!!!!
Edit: COOL!! Season 3 is so much different than the last 2 and I feel like u would really like it because it is so different 😉 (not kidding, promise)
I will watch Season 3 soon and then I will make a video on it. ;)
Eric Carter when’s it coming out ???
After I have seen the whole show.
I will then need some time to write and edit the video.
@@EricCarter12 you still need to do this.
@@thegafferchild4512 yes he does

My only criticism is that most of the stuff you complain about is a bunch of metaphores. You might find it annoying but it actually does have a purpose despite that. The never recognizing the disguises represents the adults who dont question authority.
I hope season 3 will be a lightbulb moment for him! I know it’s hard to grasp the dark reality this show highlights but society is gross and hypocritical. They only seem far fetched because we are viewing the story from the outside, when you place those metaphors into reality it can take a toll on you and realize how lenient adults have to let there morals be to survive in this money-loving, social norms world we have created.
Everyone in the comments is getting annoyed because he hasn't read the books. But the thing is, you shouldn't have had to read the books also to enjoy the show. From a review standpoint you shouldn't need that extra context and nuance if the show can't deliver it on it's own. This is a review of the show, things that people know from the books do not matter until they are presented in the show, and if they are done badly, then it's unfortunate, but still bad. Yes, it's meant to be ridiculous and absurd, that's the point. But that doesn't mean just because you understand WHY something is happening, that you have to enjoy seeing it happen. It's a REVIEW. That means it's an opinion. And if that's the opinion of someone who didn't grow up with the books, and is percieving the story based SOLELY on the show, then that's an entirely valid perspective of the story as it stands on it's own, don't you think?
Well it's clear that Jerome cares. Esme doesn't
8:51 when your a newborn your the smartest but you gradually get dumber as you age
My brother watched this everyday and we absolutely loved it! We were big fans of the books and we loved the adaptation of them
"After two episodes there is a reduced feeling of dread and Count Olaf is less intimidating.."
Bro just wait until the last half of the season.
Also, Lemony Snicket is not just a narrator he is a character, so his involvement is to flesh him out.
I also think the last eps in season 2 were the better part of the season. can't wait for you to review season 3!
Larry was my favourite character.
Pleassse. Make a video about the third season and your thoughts. I found you from your first video about Season 1 compared to the film. I love your videos dearly.
Thanks so much for the kind words buddy. I REALLY appreciate it and I am so thrilled to hear that you enjoy my videos.
I have not seen the third Season yet as I am working on a couple of other videos.
I will start watching it soon and will then work on the video.
Thanks so much for being apart of this channel for such a long time. :D
Look, I understand if this isn't your thing, but it's intentionally silly and absurdist, it's a kids' show. It's also a comedy. A dark comedy at that.
The survivor was Quigley Quagmire. It was the quagmire fire.
It wasn't revealed in this season though, so he didn't know
SPOILER ALERT!
I really don’t like his use of the r slur throughout this review and him calling woman “broads” and his fundamental misunderstanding of this series and it’s themes.
literally and he has been told not to say the r slur and responded saying he won’t then goes and says it in this video. truly disappointing. any other word could be used:(
My suggestion: You should do a video about the Netflix series: The Unlisted.
Also, in the first episode of The Hostile Hospital, Olaf found the Baudelaires because probably their fire engine was parked outside, or since it was the only shop in miles, Olaf assumed the Baudelaires would stop for rations.
They won't vote out Count Olaf because some characters think that Baudelaire are sus or Carmelita would say cakesniffer
Season 2 was so nostalgic for me I loved this season
2019?
Season 3 anyone
and why did you say member
He has a name
Its Larry
larry gets no love.....
Yeah! Larry the Waiter!!!
That wasn't even a restaurant, it was a hair salon that was put together in 5 minutes.
The Ersatz Elevator was one of my favorite episodes, and that whole Cafe Salmonella sequence with the 46-course lunch was comedy GOLD, especially Olaf gagging at the gluttinous stuff pouring from the salmon pitcher, tho i think they could've handled the Baudelaire's reunion with the Quagmires a little better. In the book, all of them are crying and laughing, trying to hug each other through the bars, they're so relieved to see each other, but it doesn't feel as emotional or touching in the series
Hey Eric will u be doing season 3 of a series of unfortunate events binge watch video?
Yes I will at some point. I am very slowly editing the video whilst I am working on my other several videos. The thing is that those several videos take priority over the Series of Unfortunate Events Binge Watch.
@@EricCarter12 thanks for making great content
@@drclef-fj3wd You're very welcome buddy! ;)
Oooh pls carmelita and esmé were queens plus olivia made me almost ugly cry
Plus, olaf wanted the Baudelaire fortune because their mother killed his father
Lemony is telling the story.
Not in the show
Count Olaf is a much better villain than Voldemort though.
Carlmelita:I HATE YOUR FACE
I was like MaNnNNNnnnNnNnNnNnNnn
He didn’t killed esme cause he loved her, and they didn’t both use it cause I believe Jerome has full rights to Squarler fortune
Me waiting for him react to season 3
It's a kind of sattire. And it is a format they have adopted having L.Snicket narrating the story in a little weird manner.
MY NAME IS CAMALITA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Daniel Hancock it's Carmelita not camilita
Carmelita you imbecile
I hate her.
A Series of Unfortunate Events> Harry Potter. ASOUE teaches the lesson that life does not give all the answers, not twitter and pottermore explain every little detail.
The ones in the Jim Carrey movie weren't brain dead, they were at least kind of smart. The detective did have a good reason to think it was the snake. And the kids didn't tell Mr. Poe about Captain Sham.
16:29
i think its a matter of pride to olaf now rather than just the fortune
Is the third season episode going to come out anytime soon
First a versus video, THEN hopefully the Binge Watch for the third Season. ;)
Ok thx for the response
No problem.
@@EricCarter12 Any updates on season three?
this is what happened in the books though. he gets away.
Fun fact: in the book smiley dies by being burned in a stake
Did you know Neil Patrick Harris also voiced Spiderman
Personally I didn't mind Snickets appearance but I do agree that he didn't need to show up when Violet was running for the exit.
Well, there’s a few reasons why Olaf doesn’t just marry Esme. For one, he’s obsessed with revenge or something, and he just wants to hurt the Baudelaires specifically. Secondly, Esme’s also on the run from the Law, so it’s unlikely she’s going to have access to her fortune. Though, given how stupid all of these people are, she could just say she was kidnapped while Olaf puts a book on top of his head for a new disguise as her Lawyer or something.
*wants carmolita to die*
Carmolita:Guess i'll die
*burns in second to last episode*
It doesn't really explicitly say who died in that part (I don't wanna spoil it for other people)
You don't get it. Stop watching. Thank you.
I believe the kid who asked " is this Legal" was Neil Patrick Harris son, accompanied by his sister, and just right over them to the side, his husband.
dose he know he was preysing the movie when it was the exsact same formula and the movie is a less acurat adaptaion
