    Despite staying mostly true to its source material, the overarching plot feels poorly developed, and the episodes are starting to feel repetitive and stale.

    As was this case with season one the series continues to follow the books relatively closely with each being split across two episodes. Despite it’s repetitive formula I did generally enjoy the first season of Lemony Snicket thanks to its great cast and sense of humour. Second time around however it isn’t so easy to overlook just how similar each pair of episodes is and when Olaf turns upAs was this case with season one the series continues to follow the books relatively closely with each being split across two episodes.

Being that the Vile Village was the last book in the series that followed the established structure of, "Mr. Po brings the siblings to new adoptive family, Olaf shows up, things get torn apart and ruined, kids get taken away for the next story," we finally get to the part in the series when things really start to expand creatively. So much so that the second part of the Hostile Hospital really blew me away. There was a lot less heavy narration, and a lot more focus on characters interacting and interpreting the situations they found themselves in. Fantastic job! I can't wait for season 3!… Expand

    I was really disappointed with this season. The whole thing felt rushed and it was just too similar to how the first season was. If this is a sign as to how the show is gonna be, It's gonna be tough for me to continue watching.

    Its heart and mind are persistently in the right place, and its entertainment value remains high.
