Series or sequence

The covid pandemic has resulted in a series/sequence of temple closures.
Which is the more suitable word?
Thanks

You hear "series", but it does not strictly make sense unless the closures were actually a series, which is unlikely. People say it because they think it sounds smart. "Sequence" is much worse.
