A stunning, sprawling, naturalistic, extremely improbable success.

The series is unapologetically weird, full of strange sex and wild obsessions, hot and muggy and foreboding.

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.

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

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.

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.

Absolutely and utterly magical, the series has done the seemingly impossible feat of translating such a difficult novel to the screen. You become thoroughly immersed in the otherwordly and poetic atmosphere while watching.

Almost as boring as the greatly overrated novel.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez a pesar de que alguna vez mencionó que era innecesario recrear sus libros en el cine ya que cada personaje de este libro tiene vida en la mente de cada lector de manera distinta, esta serie conserva de manera respetuosa los detalles del libro, mostrando a profundidad el mensaje que quiere mostrar Gabo en Cien Años de Soledad. Se nota con que gran esfuerzo y esmero se esforzaron los actores y directores de la serie para representar esta bella novela que representa a Colombia a nivel mundial, dejando una bonita alternativa a quienes prefieren el cine sobre la literatura.

Just magical. An emotional and creative adaptation. Beautiful and true to the style of the novel

It looked great and was quite doable for a while and could have been great, but there was just too much nonsense and stupidity in this story that made it worth while watching. Childish. I could't get immersed into the story so all the probably fun things that happened in the movie ... were like meh.
