As reported by TheWrap, A Series of Unfortunate Events managed to beat fellow Netflix original Marvel’s Luke Cage in its first weekend, according to Symphony Advanced Media.
For many fans, Netflix’s TV show adaptation of A Series of Unfortunate Events was the adaptation of the books that they’d been waiting to see.
During the Live +3 Day period, the report states A Series of Unfortunate Events was viewed by 3.755 million adults 18-49 over the average minute, just slightly above Luke Cage‘s reported 3.388 million.
Mixing comedy with the same sardonic tone the books were known for, the series is something unique for viewers.
