Review by mamec-2

Growing up in Europe, I had the Decameron on my reading list in high school, but I remember being quite bored by the sexual stories and not retaining much from the book. Watching this movie reignited my interest, and I plan to read the book again with a more mature perspective. The COVID pandemic has also changed my view on the story, as we now understand what it means to be confined and seek refuge away from the city, much like the characters in this captivating series.

I particularly enjoyed the beginning of the series, though I found the ending to be somewhat diluted in its storytelling. When the scriptwriters stayed true to the original Decameron, the content was spicy and engaging.

The locations, costumes, and cast were all outstanding. The actors' performances were perfect, making this a memorable series that kept me entertained and up late into the night. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good series to watch.
