Thoughts on "The Decamarone?"
I don’t remember how I heard of it, but just binged-watched it over the past few days. Ratings seem a little bit above average, but I found it very enjoyable. I liked that the mood oscillates between modern comedy and tragic comedy; and that it seems to implicitely critique modern society. The series almost feels like an allegory (or perhaps I’m reading too much in to it).
I haven't finished it yet, but yeah what a lovely surprise of a show!! Delightfully light and sexy, but the dark humor hits in just the right ways. A lot of it seemed to be dancing around hidden desires, and the tension between social/cultural norms.
Loved it. Every single actor and actress is doing a stellar job. The character arcs are fantastical but also believable due to the obscenely crazy circumstances they all find themselves in during the chosen setting of the show. I am very surprised it has such low ratings, I think it is a triumph in what it set out to accomplish.
