A Series of Unfortunate Events (2017)

The series includes a brief, comedic depiction of same-sex attraction when Vice Principal Nero kisses Coach Genghis (Count Olaf in disguise). This incidental moment is a gag rather than a developed LGBTQ+ portrayal, neither affirming nor denigrating queer identity, leading to a neutral net impact.

The show features Sunny Baudelaire, an infant, who uses her physical ability to bite male antagonists in close quarters, effectively deterring them and achieving minor victories in direct physical confrontations.

Several characters, including Mr. Poe, Uncle Monty, Aunt Josephine, and Carmelita Spats, who were canonically depicted as white in the original book series, are portrayed by actors of different races in the 2017 show adaptation.
