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

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

Abdul M @RT67746775 Oct 17, 2026 Great adaptation, reflects the book magical realism with surprising accuracy and beautiful scenery See more Rain R @RT82913162 Sep 27, 2026 We really struggled with this watching the first 3 episodes before abandoning in, frankly, disgust and anger at feeling as if we had (once again) wasted hours of our precious lives on a tv series that was in our view just awful. Sex scenes piled one on top of the other (no pun intended) violence, crazy story lines, not particularly good acting and for us at least ultimately soul destroying and unwatchable. We simply cannot fathom the positive reviews. We hated every moment of it that we watched. See more Jonny C @RT02436248 Sep 25, 2026 From storytelling yo visuals this show is amazing See more Juris O @Juris100 Sep 22, 2026 Very good film adaptation. See more 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.
