Family TV Time

It's an exciting time in the Klayman household --we are collectively binge watching a Netfilx show that appeals to all four of us.  Ivy is probably the biggest fan of the show.  It's called Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events and it's a dark comedy that stars Neil Patrick Harris, adapted from the novels written by Daniel Hander.  The thirteen novels are split into 3 seasons, two of which are out now and the third one set to air in the spring of 2019.   While the show is technically for kids, the basis of it is that a man is attempting to either 1. Kidnap the main characters (children) 2. Marry the eldest child (13 year old girl) or 3. Kill the children and take their money.  Every possible situation ends with their deaths, so it's quiet disturbing.   The last episode we watched had a man tied to a log and nearly cut in half with a saw. It was a very long scene where we got to watch with anticipation the saw coming closer and closer as the man squirmed on the log. Did I mention Ivy really loves this show?  In fact, when that episode finished and it was time for her bedtime (yes, you read that right, we watch this right before bedtime) she begged to watch one more episode.  When we said that it's too late and we will watch another day, she replied with, "you better put it on or I will be cranky...and you don't want me to be cranky, do you?"  Yes, those were her actual words.
