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 .

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.

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.

100 años de soledad is one of the great summits of literature in Spanish language. Its style is unparalleled and its scope is beyond imagination. Its characters are so well portrayed that any screenwriter would have no problem to write them for the screen. But the apparently unsurmountable problem to adapt the novel was its duration. To compress one hundred years of family and national history was an impossible task. After almost 60 years since its publication the novel has found a cinematographic home in Netflix. Only streaming can do it justice, and the 2 first episodes are really promising. Great photography, art direction and respect to the characters. The voice over is necessary to let the wonderful prose of García Marquez emerge from time to time. The plot evolves smoothly with richness and depth. I love it, and I was a bit skeptical that GGM's magic world could be translated to the screen. Wall, so far it's a success in my book.

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.
