Hundert Jahre Einsamkeit

Just finished episode one. This really could have been terrible but it's not. It's always a challenge to translate inner thoughts and fears and doubts and inner reactions to things like visions! The dubbing is pretty good in English but I switched to Spanish with English subtitles and it felt more comfortable. I'm pleased they're taking their time over the table as it's important to set the scene and even so it feels a little hurried but with sixteen episodes I'll live with it. I've read the book three times in my life and it's ok. No expense has been spared with the locations and the sets and that does help create the atmosphere. Looking forward to the questionable ethnics stuff! No censorship please!

It's an excellent adaptation. We start with an amazing Photography, good representation of the scenarios and creative direction with an approach that respects the original work. They also adapts the events of the book with dedication, and makes use of resources such as conceptual shots to add to the narrative. At the same time it respects in the ethnic and cultural aspect what Colombia is, as a people and society. Traditions, music, food and diversity of races are part of what the Macondo universe is, as well as the history that makes up the years of a violent past in Colombia. This gives way to what is its chronology, which is perfectly threaded, which results in a somewhat different product in its content, but not in a negative connotation for the development of the story. It is, in fact, a work with a lot of dedication, and pretty faithful that evokes the nostalgia of what is a hundred years of solitude and the artistic impact that it had for subsequent generations influenced by Latin American literature and the work of García Marquez.

One hundred years of isolation 🌿

Story: The series, based on the famous novel of Gabriel García Márquez of the same name, revolves around "José Arcadio Buendia" and "Ursula Iguaran", the two relatives who leave their village in search of a new home, after marrying against the wishes of their parents. Accompanied by friends and adventurers, their journey culminates To establishment of a virtuous city on the banks of a river of prehistoric stones called Macondo. Many generations of the Buendia dynasty will determine the future of this legendary city, tormented by madness, impossible love, absurd bloody war, and the fear of a terrible curse that will rule them, without hope, for a hundred years of isolation.

From the beginning of the first episode, it was clear that I was embarking on a impressive work that actually exceeded my expectations

And every episode was exciting me to see the next..

The sequence of events is amazing, tidy and calm, and its clarity on every detail and partiality, and this gave me a beautiful feeling.

Everything is perfect, the performances, sounds and the atmosphere are consistent and wonderful..

Honestly, a very wonderful series, and it didn't disappoint me, it's very enjoyable .

I'm still on episode 4 but so far so good, actually pretty amazing , it was everything I hoped it will be . I know there will be a lot of people will not be happy of this adaptation, but in the end it's a big big novel, we all know it's just unfilmable and like you all know the author didn't agree on adapting the novel before, and now his children's agreed on adapting it, so the result in my opinion is that Netflix managed to adapt it pretty well, maybe not all perfect, but they got it very close, I think they did a remarkable work of recreating the spirit of the novel + the casts is very good , and the locations and all production was satisfying actually. Overall I recommend people to give this a shot and don't let the critics to effect you and also don't let the Netflix name effect on you.

One Hundred Years of Solitude is one of the most extraordinary and magical TV series I have ever experienced. Based on Gabriel García Márquez's masterpiece, the show perfectly captures the essence of Macondo, the mythical town at the heart of the story, and brings to life the epic tale of the Buendía family.

What makes this adaptation truly unique is its ability to blend the fantastical with the everyday, delivering moments of sheer wonder that feel both timeless and deeply human. The show's rich visual style, paired with its poetic storytelling, draws you into a world where time loops in strange ways, ghosts linger, and reality shimmers with magic.

From the haunting beauty of Remedios the Beauty's ascension to heaven to the tragic cycles of love, war, and solitude, every scene is a masterpiece. The cast is phenomenal, embodying the complexity and depth of Márquez's characters with authenticity and passion.

This series doesn't just adapt One Hundred Years of Solitude; it elevates it, turning the novel's enchanting pages into an unforgettable visual and emotional journey. It is, without a doubt, one of the best shows I've ever seen-an extraordinary celebration of magical realism and the resilience of human life.
