It is not the same as other stories which there will always be a happy or sometimes bad ending, for this series , the ending is neither happy or sad, most of the good people dead and finally at the last episode , the bad guy dead. And i do think that the series is good because it really show that even bad guys, they also have good sides and there will always be a reason that they changed. At the end episode , Count Olaf saved Kit even he is injured and i felt very touched.
