This is Netflix’s most expensive Latin American project to date, with Colombian groups and indigenous communities creating the props and sets for the series
In the timeless town of Macondo, seven generations of the Buendía family navigate between love, oblivion, and the inevitability of their past and their destiny.
I’m still on episode 4, but so far it’s been good, actually amazing, it’s been everything I expected it to be
I know there will be a lot of people who won’t be happy with this adaptation, but ultimately it’s a great novel, we all know it’s simply unfilmable and as everyone knows, the author didn’t agree to adapt the novel before, and now his children have agreed to adapt it, so the result is that I think Netflix has been able to adapt it quite well, maybe not perfectly, but they were very close, I think they did a remarkable job in restoring it.
The spirit of the novel + the cast is very good and the locations and the whole production were really satisfying
Overall, I recommend people give it a shot and don’t let the critics get to you, and don’t let the Netflix name get to you.
