Caution: there will be a ridiculous amount of spoilers in this article, so I suggest if you haven't had the displeasure of watching this Series of Unfortunate Events yet, you look away. The adaption of this book series into the Netflix series was the best thing to happen since the books themselves were written. Now, for the real fans of SOUE, every moment was your favorite moment. This list compiles what we would call the top five moments from the entire series.
1. The moment you met Justice Strauss.
You immediately hoped that somehow, it would be different than the books. You were of course, wrong, and she was still as clueless as ever. Still, she was so darn sweet to the Baudelaires, you couldn't help but love her.
2. When Montgomery Montgomery became what seemed like a hopeful guardian.
He was perfect for the Baudelaires. Yes, a little strange with the snake obsession, but still great. He wanted to really be a father to the kids, and they really seemed to like him. Of course, Olaf/Stephano finds a way to get back into their lives. However, Stephano was definitely one of our favorite disguises.
3. When the children ran away from Mr. Poe and Count Olaf.
Mr. Poe was just about to hand the kids over to Captain Sham (eye roll), when he discovered that he was really Count Olaf. When the kids took off, admit it, you were thrilled. But when Olaf and the crew disappeared, it was a major letdown. We all knew it would probably happen, just like in the book, but there's always hope for a change, right?
4. Seeing Count Olaf as the Receptionist.
This was by far one of the most humorous parts of the series. Everyone hates Count Olaf, so seeing him dressed up as a (quite hideous) woman, was somehow satisfying. Plus, he had some junk in his trunk, which was satisfying as well.
5. The Ending
Seeing the Baudelaires sitting back to back with the strange children whose parents we thought would be the parents of the Baudelaires was mind-boggling. Though it left us hanging, knowing what is to come kept us on edge and waiting for the next season.
