Featured review
Another fairly good episode of the 1st season
The Wide Window Part One was another good episode of the fairly good 1st season so far. Aside from the pacing being a bit too long and K. Todd Freeman still doesn't work for me as Mr. Poe, it was a good continuation. Part 2 isn't a perfect episode and it still has some bits of problems, but it's still good.
The episode, much like the others, continues to being a sense of tension and mystery as the children discover the mysterious deaths of so many people aside from their parents. The story involving them at Lake Lachrymose with Aunt Josephine is still intriguing and entertains throughout and picks up the pace from the previous episode. The black humor continues to amuse where it doesn't feel overdone or childish.
The directing is great and so is the editing. The cinematography continues to be well-made especially the look of Lake Lachrymose and the music score continues to be well composed, fitting the mysterious atmospheric tone of the show. The acting is still good except from K. Todd Freeman as Mr. Poe, who is still not doing anything for me due to the ineptitude personality being overdone. Malina Weissman and Louis Hynes are still confident as Klaus and Violet and while I still prefer Sunny in the 2004 version, Sunny here is also getting better. Meanwhile Alfre Woodard tones down her role as Aunt Josephine very well as she does fierce and tortured much better than in the previous episode. Patrick Warburton continues to deliver the deadpan dry narration although some of it interrupted the flow of the story while Neil Patrick Harris still shines as Count Olaf especially with his disguises like he did as Stefano in the Reptile Room.
Overall, another fairly good episode and a slight improvement over The Wide Window Part One.
