I just finished the second season of A Series of Unfortunate Events. I liked it much better than season one. Itβs found a better balance of style and storytelling, so Iβm happy to report that itβs now only slightly abrasively cartoonish. (Save for the weird tonal shifts where Count Olaf straight up murders people.) I havenβt read the books or seen the 2004 movie. I do own a copy of The Tragic Treasury because Stephin Merritt has the voice of a very disaffected angel. But Iβm only here to talk about EsmΓ© here. She is everything. A villainous femme fatale who dons costumes was a much needed shot in the arm for the series. Here she is as she appears in The Carnivorous Carnival.
