I've just discovered this - it's a black comedy set during the black death and based on Boccacio's Decameron with 8 episodes. A random group of nobles and their servants flee Florence during the plague to a villa in the countryside. The acting is great and it really made me laugh.
I really enjoyed it and thought it was very funny. I know people are often looking for recommendations so thought I'd post while I thought about it.
It's sort of in that slightly dark, touch of the intellectual way that the first season of BlackAdder was (not the later ones). If you like that kind of thing, you will love this.
