That being said, there are some good elements from this episode. There were also times where it can get a little too wordy and the pacing did felt uneven. Poe didn't do anything for me only because of the way the character was written. Malina Weissman did very good as Violet although I did prefer Sunny in the 2004 version and Louis Hynes did OK as Klaus. The child acting is nothing terrible or anything, but not that great either. Now, the first episode isn't perfect, but it's far from bad (considering the rest of the season got better). Back at early 2017, I watched the entirety of the 1st season and from what I got so far it was a very good start. A decade later, when I heard that Netflix was doing a series adapting all of the 13 books, I became interested and decided to check it out with anticipation. What was unfortunate is that it didn't get a sequel due to the mishandled marketing campaign and it's competition with other movies at the time. Back when I was a kid, I saw the 2004 version that had Jim Carrey back in theaters and I loved it while reading some of the books in a series it was adapting.
