If you are interested in a story with a happy ending, that story is streaming elsewhere. This story has no happy ending, no happy beginning, and very few happy things in the middle.

Based on the internationally best-selling series of books by Lemony Snicket (aka Daniel Handler) and starring Emmy and Tony Award winner Neil Patrick Harris, A Series of Unfortunate Events recounts the tragic tale of the Baudelaire orphans — Violet, Klaus, and Sunny – whose evil guardian Count Olaf will stop at nothing to get his hands on their inheritance.

Patrick Warburton is Lemony Snicket who relates the tale of how the siblings must outsmart Olaf at every turn, foiling his many devious plans and disguises, in order to discover clues to their parents’ mysterious death. The eight-episode series is a Netflix original production, executive produced by Emmy Award winner Barry Sonnenfeld and Daniel Handler. It filmed in Vancouver last Spring and summer, starting in early April and wrapping in August. Count Olaf (Neil Patrick Harris) was spotted on set in downtown Vancouver and at The Cultch theatre in east Vancouver and the old Hollywood theatre in Kitsilano.

I ran into Patrick Harris in downtown Vancouver at lunch with his son shortly before the series wrapped here.
