Matt Roush says...

Set in a 14th-century Florence where no two people seem to share the same accent, this clumsy eight-part period comedy attempts to make dark farce out of the Black Plague. A collection of venal and/or vapid and always vulgar elites and their scheming servants convenes on a villa in the countryside to wait out the medieval pandemic. I made it through one tiresome episode before realizing the streamer was also offering Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Relief!
