Scri 839 Posted August 18, 2024 Share Posted August 18, 2024 As researcher who published on Boccaccio's works: they should have called this thing "Another Bridgertone spinoff" and call it a day Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a mindless entertainment and I'm here for it. Nothing to hate but us Italians get very defensive when foreign productions revisit our ancient classics. It's an innate cultural thing, since we're educated with those books since we're basically toddlers Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I worded my comment weirdly, it's not the Netflix kind of comedy if you know what I mean? There's this specific genre of 'old times' comedy shows that makes me cringe so hard Soft, soothing, and succulent Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
