               Netflix continues to get their hands on some quality talent for their series and now they have a very exciting upcoming series based on the popular book series, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events and the first teaser gives us a first look at Count Olaf. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this character as Jim Carrey played him in the 2004 feature film, now Neil Patrick Harris gets his shot.

            I was a very big fan of Carrey’s portrayal of the character so it worries me to see someone else but Patrick at least has the look, but the accent seems a little forced in my opinion. Olaf is known as being a cartoonish villain and it doesn’t seem that within this preview that I can see him pulling it off. But this is still only a short preview so I would like to see more.

            Every episode of Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events will be released on Netflix on January 13^th. Check out the first teaser below!
