What a waste of time this series is! It’s a Netflix series ostensibly inspired by Boccaccio’s bawdy, funny stories. There are plenty of sex scenes.
So what’s not to like?
#1 It’s fully clothed sex.
#2 See number one.
There is also a #3. This series is not based on Boccaccio’s stories, but on the people narrating them. The premise of the collection is that ten nobles are hiding in the countryside waiting for the city to be free from the Black Plague. To pass the time, they take turns amusing the group with raunchy stories. Boccaccio’s version consists of the stories they tell. This version consists of the shenanigans that transpire among the group, people who are isolated together too long. So, instead of drawing from the work of an esteemed genius of light-hearted erotica, the creators have instead created a 14th century soap opera which, I presume, is supposed to use the Black Plague setting to evoke what we would have gone through during the COVID lockdowns if we had no clothing available but Ren Faire costumes.
Fine choice.
Throughout eight episodes, everything is obscured by blankets, hands, candles, hair – whatever, as if it were the opening of an Austin Powers movie. This butt shot is the only nudity.
To be fair, Jessica does have a really cute butt.
Sound like Netflix…
Reminds me of a Public Health course I took, something like Fundamentals of Drug and Alcohol Abuse. Only 2 credits but dead easy; it was almost required to show up stoned to the first lecture.
One day prof got on a sidetrack about sex. He said studies had shown that the higher the level of education, the fewer clothes worn and the more light on in the room while having sex. He said “Now I know what some of you are thinking – I can’t wait to get to grad school, where it will be trapezes and strobe lights.”
Were they pro or con?
Was it a tutorial? (I would love to learn how to abuse substances responsibly.)
