The Decameron: Season 1

"Non-stop fun."

"A tartly funny showcase for a uniformly excellent ensemble."

"By turns satirical, tender, savage, and existentially profound."

"Shaggy but sincere."

"Little more than a 14th-century version of Love Island."

"Plagued by broad acting and petty, tedious characters."

"By the time the credits rolled on the finale, I was surprised by how attached I had grown to these idiots."

"Its humours are well in balance."

"A disgrace to the book and to our shared pandemic experience."

"Glory be! – a comedy that is actually funny."

"A sharp upstairs-downstairs pandemic satire."

"Doesn't use its time wisely."

"So joyfully unfaithful... that it wraps back around again to something like homage."

"When everything is so over-the-top, it’s hard for any moment to stand out."

"It looks gorgeous, but tries to be too many different shows and falls short of each option."

"A deft exploration of class and privilege."

"Perhaps the worst series to hit the airwaves since HBO’s The Time-Traveler’s Wife, a feat I did not even think possible."

"One of the best dark comedy shows so far in 2024."

"Partially redeemed by the cast’s commitment to hamming it up as required."

"Hilarious until the length of its hour-long episodes catches up with it."
