In the trailer, Neil Patrick Harris' take on Count Olaf can be seen in all its glory. He seemed to be having fun doing over-the-top performances like absurd disguises and goofs.

The Verge reported that the series has a similar vibe to Tim Burton's movie. It has a distinct dark and quirky blend like the films of the acclaimed director.

The site reported that the series seemed to blend the dark humor and wordplay that make the books popular. It will also give a new take on the book because there will be a narration from Lemony Snicket which will be played Patrick Warbuton.
