In the timeless town of Macondo, seven generations of the Buendía family navigate love, oblivion, and the inescapability of their past and destiny. This is Netflix’s most expensive Latin American project to date, with Colombian groups and indigenous communities building props and sets for the series. Mesmerizing. A visual wonder and a philosophical masterpiece. Pure magic. So light and easy to watch, yet so profound. An adaptation that definitely does justice to the source material. I wish I could speak Spanish, as I’m sure it’s much better in the original language, but it’s quite mesmerizing in English. Not to mention how gorgeous the cast is. Simply incredible. It’s a near-perfect translation of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s Magnum Opus: One Hundred Years of Solitude. Beautiful cinematography, enigmatic and interesting plot, insanely written characters, a love letter to Gabriel! It made me read the book again after decades. “One Hundred Years of Solitude” is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month. Check out our December calendar for more!
