13 Reasons I Just Can’t Look Away from Lemon Snicket’s Unfortunate Events

May 23, 2017 by Andrew Kardon

From the very opening of Netflix’s original series Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, viewers are told to look away. A deadpan narrator practically begs and pleads with us to watch no more as an endless series of unfortunate events awaits three beautiful children. No happy ending. No good to counter the bad.

Supergirl Brings Out My Inner Comic Geek

July 27, 2016 by Andrew Kardon

Funny thing, though. I just saw all of those things on Netflix’s newest original hit series Stranger Things.
