Decameron on Netflix

Hey.

This knocked me out. It is very Pythonish and then some. I recognized only a couple of the actors but every one has the capacity to develop absolutely brilliant characters.

Very very absurdist. Lot's and lots of slapstick and otherwise comedic weirdness.

Set in Europe during a plague, a small band of people, rich, poor and wannabe rich assemble in a remote villa to escape the plague and make their fortunes. Comedy madness ensues..

Will stick it in my playlist, thanks for the heads up.

It's fun! Campy, for sure. It reminds me of Miracle Workers, Dark Ages

Oh, that does look fun as well. I"ll try to find it somewhere.

Another in a similar manner is this one, Galavant. This one though is also a musical with interesting dancing and very witty lyrics thoughout. I t played a number of years ago and i hoped for a sequel but to not avail. I have no idea where you might find this one..

Netflix showed it’s true colours with cuties.

F netflix and it’s deviant agenda 👍

It started off with Python vibes...then it just became monotonous and repetitious.
Overall...it's weak.

Well I can tell you this, you and I do not have a smitten of commonality about almost anything.

Poe's "Masque of the Red Death" was likely influenced by it.
