I'm new, both to this forum and the series in general. And thus, some backstory.
When the 2004 movie "A Series of Unfortunate Events" came out, I had never heard of the stories, but learned the movie was based on a book series, so decided since it was easier for me to convince my mom to take me to one movie than to buy me 13 books, I could use it as a fairly accurate test if I would like the stories, and if I should get the books later on. It was not an accurate test, and I did not get the books.
Last month, Netflix premiered "A Series of Unfortunate Events" as a new series of theirs, and originally, I didn't give it too much thought because the movie was so "meh" for me when I was younger. Of course, I saw Neil Patrick Harris was in it, and had a moral obligation to at least give it a chance. And now, three weeks later, I have seen the whole series and read all the books. As of now, I don't really have anyone to discuss the series with, as my friend (which is singular in this sentence purposefully, and not by some error of the writer) has not read any of the stories, and anyone else would either be in the dark on the stories or say "yeah, I read those like 9 years ago and haven't talked of them since, and have forgotten many important and interesting details which would make discussion more enjoyable for the both of us".
So I am here now. I hope you'll accept me into your group.

Wow; you read all the books in under three books. That's impressive. Which is your favourite book that the Netflix series has covered, and which is your favourite book that they are yet to cover?

Well, my favorite the series covered was The Miserable Mill, but I'm prejudiced because I had a love of hypnosis already, and seeing it in any media is always nice for me. As for what they haven't covered, I'd have to say The Slippery Slope
