Just finished episode one

In the timeless town of Macondo, seven generations of the Buendía family navigate love, oblivion and the inescapability of their past and their fate.. This is Netflix’s most expensive Latin American-made project to date, with Colombian groups and indigenous communities constructing props and sets for the series..

This really could have been terrible but it’s not

It’s always a challenge to translate inner thoughts and fears and doubts and inner reactions to things like visions! The dubbing is pretty good in English but I switched to Spanish with English subtitles and it felt more comfortable.

I’ve read the book three times in my life and it’s ok

I’m pleased they’re taking their time over the table as it’s important to set the scene and even so it feels a little rushed but with sixteen episodes I’ll live with it. No expense has been spared with the locations and the sets and that does help create the atmosphere.

No censorship please!

Looking forward to the questionable ethnicity stuff! "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
