The Decameron (2024)

Fun romp - don't over think it

The trailer didn't win me over so my expectations weren't high. My partner started watching it, so I joined him and we binged it through. I enjoyed it.

There's plenty of dark and serious stuff out there, or American style humour, which definitely doesn't float our boat, so it's a relief to find something light and fun, that doesn't make you feel a sicker about the state of the world. And a few laugh-out-loud moments is definitely a bonus.

Yes the plot might drag on a bit but I think that's the nature of tv series. It may not go down as an acclaimed masterpiece but I felt touches of Monty Python, Killing Eve and Taming of the Shrew coming through, which worked for me.
