A stunning, sprawling, naturalistic, extremely improbable success. Go to Full Review
Imogen West-Knights Slate Dec 24, 2024
The series is unapologetically weird, full of strange sex and wild obsessions, hot and muggy and foreboding. Go to Full Review

4/5
Across several generations, a dynamic cast effortlessly navigates the story's unusual tone with a much-needed naturalism. Let's hope Netflix manages to stick the landing when they wrap this epic up in season two. Go to Full Review
Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu May 17, 2025
This vivid version of Gabriel García Márquez’s multigenerational epic is respectful of the source material while treading a whole new and splendidly riotous path Go to Full Review
Steve Murray ArtsATL Mar 8, 2025
Yes, the writer’s magic realism is tricky to translate. But "Solitude", made in García Márquez’s native Colombia by South American filmmakers, finds simple, stunning ways to bring the first half of the book to the screen. It’s close to perfect. Go to Full Review
Neely Swanson Beverly Hills Courier Mar 1, 2025
One Hundred Years of Solitude will transport you to a land imaginary, yet full of real emotion. It is where you’d like to go but be afraid to stay because the dreams and nightmares of the Buendía family are all too real. Go to Full Review

Skekks S @Skekks Sep 1, 2026 100 Years of Solitude is an absolutely stunning series. The lush, beautifully detailed set design is extraordinary, creating a world that feels both magical and completely lived-in. The acting is outstanding across the board, bringing its wonderfully eccentric characters to life. The story takes some wonderfully unusual and unexpected turns, with strange, surreal and often highly entertaining arcs that keep you guessing. Visually spectacular, brilliantly acted and unlike almost anything else on television — a genuinely captivating series. See more Sandra T @magnolia628 Aug 27, 2026 Rarely does a movie based on a book capture its soul. The series, including the ending, captures the essence of the story. It would be impossible to tell every part of the book but the writers captured a good portion of the events. But what they capture best, combining the magical or spiritual elements with the actual events to capture the purpose of the story itself. The ending narrative is exceptional. See more Ivan J @IvanatorX Aug 26, 2026 Absolutely stunning series! So impressed by story, the acting, and cinematography. A harsh reality of life in Latin America and the coming of age of the changes that will happen due to the passage of time. I will never be the same after watching this. See more Antonio S @RT05261875 Aug 9, 2026 You will enjoy this adaption . However, if you you have read, followed or know of, this book by Gabo, you will realise how extremely difficult it would be to bring that book to a visual adaptation. Still really good enjoyed, beautiful visuals. See more Isaac H @Isaac.H Aug 8, 2026 Slow, boring, and meandering. See more Kris G @RT45501986 Aug 7, 2026 Muchos años después, frente al pelotón de fusilamiento, el Coronel Aureliano Buendía había de recordar aquella tarde remota en que su padre lo llevó a conocer el hielo... I read this novel many years ago (in Spanish) and read it again before I watched Season One. I was skeptical at first. Bringing García Márquez's saga to the screen was a feat that required not only ambition but courage. The result, however, is a bit of magical realism in itself and should meet the approval of anyone who considers the book to be one of the greatest universal works of literature ever. Lush, lavish, whimsical, humorous and profound, the story of the Buendía family and the loss of innocence as a society hits all the marks that the author intended. Just as relevant today, if not even more so. Casi nada... Me quito el sombrero. See more Read all reviews
