I just finished watching the first episode of The Decameron and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. On one hand, I was hooked from the very beginning - the pacing is fast, the cast is fantastic, and the costumes, set, and cinematography are all top-notch. If you're a fan of shows like Sex Education and Derry Girls, you'll probably like this too.

On the other hand, the jokes are a different story. Oh, the jokes. They're just not good. At all. I was expecting a witty and clever take on medieval history, but instead I got babble-humor that fell flat. I was cringing so hard I almost felt embarrassed. And the soundtrack doesn't fit - it's like they thought they could just throw in some 80s pop and call it a day. It's a jarring and awkward attempt to make the show feel more "relatable".

Despite all this, I have to admit that I'm hoping it will get better. The cast is great, and I'm curious to see where the story goes. Maybe it'll get better? Maybe they'll dial it back on the babbling and focus on telling a more nuanced and engaging story.

But for now, I'm just going to have to suffer through the cringey-babble-humor and hope that the rest of the show is better.

This couldn't have ended better and the amount of work that went into this episode is astonishing, the acting, the CGI, the choreography, the views and the planning required to pull it all off is absolutely astonishing.

If this doesn't get another season, I'm going to be very sad. I really have to know what's going to be the continuation of this, well, I could play the games - but I want to experience the world in live-action like this first.

And that comes from a gamer, that's been playing games and know the value and immersion of games. Still, this delivers such a believable world that it beats even that.

What a train-wreck, I don't know where to begin. Well we can start with the fact that there's zero personality with the characters, every single one is stereotypical caricature of themselves. It would be a good idea if the comedy had any delivery or surprises at all, it's all just what you'd expect it to be - flat and over-done, like a pancake with mustard on it - there's no way you'd like it. The only redeeming quality of this show is the art-style and animation, which is great from start to end. About that, it wasn't easy to watch the first episode because the's nothing fun or surprising happening, reminds me of the "modern" Sam & Max games..
