![]() ![]() Todd Freeman overdoes it (especially that cough) and he doesn't even fit very well within the story that well. Mr Poe, and am aware that people are probably tired of me saying this, is still the most annoying and intolerably so character of the adaptation. "The Ersatz Elevator" is part of the second season and a very good representation of why 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' had improved. The repetitiveness wasn't as strong and the characters generally intrigued more. Season 2 that adapted the next five books was even better, where things got darker and more mysterious and the story became more eventful. Both parts of "The Reptile Room" and especially the second part of "The Miserable Mill" were especially good. ![]() Although Season 1 that adapted the first four books was far from flawless and was a bit unsettled (especially understandably the very first episode "The Bad Beginning: Part 1"), it was very promising and with a lot of fine things. It may ever so slightly lack the suspense of 'The Austere Academy', as far as the previous books in the series go, but the mood gets even darker than before, the mystery thickens and becomes even more engrossing (everything with VFD) and it has one of the series' juiciest supporting characters, and even characters overall as well, in Esme Squalor. ![]() 'The Ersatz Elevator' to me is one of the better entries in the popular book series. ![]()
