Kathleen Jordan & Tony Hale | The Decameron | I have a long held fascination with the bubonic plague

Kathleen Jordan & Tony Hale are interviewed for Netflix's soapy dark comedy series The Decameron. The cast includes Amar Chadha-Patel, Leila Farzad, Lou Gala, Karan Gill, Tony Hale, Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Zosia Mamet, Douggie McMeekin, Jessica Plummer, Tanya Reynolds. Created by Kathleen Jordan, who was very loosely inspired by the 14-century story collection The Decameron, the eight-episode series is through Jenji Kohan’s Tilted Productions. Kohan serves as an executive producer, alongside Jordan, director Michael Uppendahl, and Tilted’s Blake McCormick and Tara Herrmann.
Linda Marric asks the questions.
Plot: You are cordially invited to a wine-soaked sex romp set in the Italian countryside. The Decameron is a soapy dark comedy that examines the all-too-timely theme of class struggles in the season of a pandemic. In the year 1348, the Black Death strikes hard in the city of Florence, and a handful of nobles retreat with their servants to a grand villa to wait out the plague with a lavish holiday. But as social rules wear thin, a scramble for survival ensues, brought to life by a cast of characters both cunning and outrageous.
The 8-episode series hits the streamer on July 25th.

The writing, acting, set design, wardrobe, everything was amazing I loved this show so much!!! Made me laugh & have a good cry

[@Lenabearberry]

I adored this show - the combination of genres and craziness was very entertaining. Took a bit of time to adjust to the sudden shifts between drama, sex and tragedy (and how intertwined they all are) but once I did it was a great ride :)

I'm hoping that Tony Hale will voice Fear again in Inside Out 3

Nothing against the writers as I'm sure they're nice, adjusted people in real life - but this Decameron adaptation looks absolutely dreadful. Why did the Renaissance classic novel have it's quality of writing turned into something akin to Meet the Spartans? It just seems a really bizarre choice of source material to turn into a politically correct, tepid comedy, it's just jarring to see this modern Disaster Movie style of writing being performed by characters in Renaissance get up, very tonally off.

It was great. I don't get how this show rubbed anyone the wrong way. It ruled and was super fun.

Because it's more loyal to the spirit of the book than if it was performed as a fancy "classic". The Decameron was a provocative and satirical collection of stories that mixed a bunch of genres and used vernacular Tuscan Italian instead of Latin. It would be absurd to write it for a modern audience with classical English
