The large cast of Netflix’s upcoming series The Decameron (most of whom we’re unfamiliar with) came out in some loud looks for the series premiere. Assessment time! Put on your assessing gear and let’s get to it.
Tanya Reynolds
You know what? It mostly works for us. She leaned into the weirdness of the shapes and proportions. Of course we would have preferred hosiery instead of those socks, but like we said, she leaned into it. Love the eye makeup.
Lou Gala
This is one of those prints that’s too busy and in low-contrast colors, which makes it look muddy and obscure in pictures. In unrelated news, the shoes are hideous.
Douggie McMeekin
Can’t get mad at that. He looks cute.
Jessica Plummer
She looks like she’s being pinned for a fitting and those garments are nowhere near finished. Also, the colors are kind of awful together.
Karan Gill
Sir, you had us until we got to the socks.
Zosia Mamet
It’s simple, but well rendered. Can’t get mad at it.
Saoirse-Monica Jackson
No. It’s just silly. We might have tried to contextualize that cutesy laundry sack of a dress, but those ridiculous shoes killed the vibe.
Tony Hale
This is an admirable attempt to get a little stylish and sassy, but we don’t think any of this suits him all that well. Velvet in July is weird. That color doesn’t look great on him and the shoes really don’t go with the suit.
Amar Chadha-Patel
The outfit isn’t really doing it for us, but the hair, jewelry and sandals are all great.
ABOUT THE SERIES:
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.
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.
