(IYKYK.) The reply? All havoc breaks free. Based mostly on the gathering of brief tales by 14th century Italian writer Giovanni Boccaccio, The Decameron is a hilarious, soapy, one-of-a-kind darkish comedy that brings some levity to survival within the time of a pandemic.

As a complete, it is splendidly intelligent, however I might be remiss if I did not particularly name out the present’s stellar ensemble solid—a veritable treasure trove of comedic favorites, equivalent to Tony Hale and Zosia Mamet, and breakout stars like Parisian Lou Gala. One standout duo is Jessica Plummer (The Woman Earlier than) and Tanya Reynolds (Intercourse Training).
