Since 1999, kids have been caught up in the dark drama of the Baudelaire children and their evil uncle, Count Olaf. Jim Carrey did a fine job portraying said antagonist in the 2004 film, but Neil Patrick Harris is the one who’s truly done justice to Olaf, without going so far as to make him a caricature. The pacing of TV works better for the book series, too — it never feels like too much is being crammed into a single episode.
