A Series of Unfortunate Events - The Miserable Mill television review

The two-part season finale offers a slight change to the proceedings but doesn’t stray too far from the formula we’ve seen in previous episodes. The only difference this time is that the Violet (Malina Weissman), Klaus (Louis Hynes), and baby Sunny choose their latest location as they are put to work in the Lucky Strikes Lumber Mill where they hope to learn information about their parents.
