Plugged In thinks A Series of Unfortunate Events has a good message for kids: “A Series of Unfortunate Events speaks directly to children, telling them that they can overcome anything that goes wrong. Surrounded by terrible circumstances far beyond the reality faced by most children, the Baudelaires band together, reach deep inside for strength and refuse to succumb.”
If families, friends, and/or siblings stick together, they can conquer their problems and fears. If you turn on each other, things will most likely go terribly wrong.
If you don’t know much about A Series of Unfortunate Events, you should get on board and give it a chance; it’s a great series and the show should be interesting.
