Cien años de soledad

I had read this novel in 2018 After finishing it, I searched for any movie or series based on this novel, and I didn't find anything, which was surprising to me.

Marquez created a whole world with great craftsmanship, great characters, and events that will be remembered forever.

As for the series, what a series!

Often when a movie or series is adapted from a novel the novel is much better, with the exception of a few works.

And this series definitely succeeded in adapting the novel correctly and bringing this great world to the small screen.

To those who are hesitant to watch this series, believe me, there is nothing more important than watching the series to spend your time.

Pure joy watching this cinematic Colombian marvel. Screen adaptation exceeded my expectations and eliminated all fears about potential disastrous attempt to make a decent movie out of a so-cold "unfilmable" novel. Looks absolutely authentic and magical to my eyes. Bravo to Colombian creators and Colombian crew for very attentive, careful and delicate adaptation o[f one of the most beautiful novels ever written!

Cinematographic work is outstanding and displays beauty of Colombia very vividly. Costumes, colonial architecture, interior design of the buildings and carefully chosen music portrait altogether unforgettable atmosphere of Colombian magic in every and each detail.

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.

Spellbinding. A visual marvel and a philosophical masterpiece. Pure magic. So light and easy to watch, yet so very deep. An adaptation that definitely does justice to the source material. I wish I could speak Spanish as I am sure it's way better in the original language, but it's quite mesmerizing in English. Not to mention how gorgeous the cast is. Simply amazing. It's a near perfect translation of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Magnum Opus: Cien años de Soledad. Beautiful cinematography, enigmatic and interesting plot, insanely written characters, a love letter to Gabriel!. It made me go read the book again after decades.

One hundred years of isolation 🌿

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 .
