What’s The Decameron about?
First published in Italy in the mid-14th century, Giovanni Boccaccio’s The Decameron tells the story of a group of nobles and their servants sheltering in the grand Villa Santa outside Florence as the Black Death rages in 1348.
To pass the time, they take turns telling each other stories that range from witty to debauched. The series has a similar premise, but with a twist right out of Lord of the Flies — as time goes on and social rules wear thin, the orgy of riches and liquor collapses into a struggle for survival.
How to watch The Decameron:
The Decameron is now available to stream on Netflix.
