The Decameron on Netflix

[InTheCloset 16,832]

A new show has premiered on Netflix (in my region) . The Decameron. 

Ive just finished the first episode and i almost died laughing.

I saw it the other day and thought it was an actual adaptation of Boccaccio's book but the fact that it's a comedy turned me off so much idk

It's a shame to the source material

idk I really liked it... What's there to hate? It's just a mindless entertainment and I'm here for it.

My Italian husband was angry at the trailer with a  lot of porco dio, porca madonna and vaffanculo

As researcher who published on Boccaccio's works: they should have called this thing "Another Bridgertone spinoff" and call it a day

I mean, the original book works so well, with all the fun material... I'll never understand Netflix, but maybe that's why I don't have the subscription

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
