Season 1 Review:
The themes it traffics in — social hierarchy, status anxiety, lust — are evergreen enough to stand on their own. The group assembled at the villa may face external threats from roving bandits, but their escalating hysteria means the seeds of their downfall are sown from within.

Season 1 Review:
The Decameron is spinning a tale that is many centuries removed from the present, but this seemingly raunchy house party comedy has so much more beneath the surface, as raucous, wine-drenched celebration gives way to very real struggle, heartbreak, and, ultimately, something resembling triumph.

Season 1 Review:
In total, The Decameron feels stretched beyond its ability to sustain any momentum, with early events surrounded with too much padding and later events appearing like sudden escalations that needed more time to build. The pieces are all there, in other words, but they don’t always fit together as well as they should. All of this still makes The Decameron one of the more interesting new Netflix series of the last year.

Season 1 Review:
It’s simply My Lady Jane + Love Island + White Lotus. And since it’s so busy trying to accomplish all three of those oeuvres at once—while also attempting to establish a cohesive pandemic narrative—it falls just a little shy of a success in any one category. It’s fun to glut yourself on, but it’s more an indulgence than a satisfying meal, and by the time you reach the end, it’s hard not to wish you (like the characters) had indulged a little less.
