It’s a great adaptation
In the timeless city of Macondo, seven generations of the Buendía family navigate love, forgetfulness, and the inevitability of their past and fate. This is Netflix’s most expensive project in Latin America to date, with Colombian indigenous groups and communities constructing the props and sets for the series.

They also adapted events from the book with dedication and used resources such as conceptual shots to add to the narrative. At the same time, it respects in terms of ethnicity and culture what Colombia is, as a people and a society.

This gives way to a chronology that is perfectly tied together, resulting in a slightly different product in terms of content, but not with a negative connotation for the development of the story. It is in fact a work of great dedication and quite faithful, which evokes nostalgia for One Hundred Years of Solitude and the artistic influence it had on subsequent generations through Latin American literature and the work of García Marquez.
