Zosia Mamet and Saorise Monica Jackson in The Decameron
The Big Picture These days, the success of a pandemic-set story seems to really depend on timing. While some creators have chosen to lean into a more modern narrative linked to much more recent circumstances, others are looking much further back — using the past as a vehicle to tap into contemporary fears and anxieties. Such is the case with Netflix's upcoming adaptation of The Decameron, which hails from creator Kathleen Jordan as well as executive producer Jenji Kohan .
Once Leonardo's guests begin trickling in, they all have an opportunity to size each other up. Rich noble Tindaro , while a single man himself, manages to be rather off-putting solely by virtue of being both a raging hypochondriac and a proto-incel, blaming women and their apparent manipulations for his inability to land a bride.
In terms of less familiar faces, though, most of The Decameron's remaining ensemble has just as much screentime to flex their talent. Gala, whose character Neifile gets arguably the biggest sexual awakening of the entire party, also has her best scene partner in her on-screen husband.
