Some adaptations are made for streaming — not literally, where an existing story is reconfigured to fit a specific algorithm, but because feature-length movies often can't retain the ingredients that make their source material superb. Long-form television, on the other hand, can set a narrative free. Case in point: Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events, a deft three-season adaptation of Daniel Handler's (better known by his pseudonym, Lemony Snicket) darkly comedic children's series.
