Lili Loofbourow Washington Post A stunning, sprawling, naturalistic, extremely improbable success. Jan 9, 2025 Full Review Imogen West-Knights Slate The series is unapologetically weird, full of strange sex and wild obsessions, hot and muggy and foreboding. Dec 24, 2024 Full Review David Opie Empire Magazine 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. Rated: 4/5 Dec 22, 2024 Full Review Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu 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 May 17, 2025 Full Review Steve Murray ArtsATL 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. Mar 8, 2025 Full Review Neely Swanson Beverly Hills Courier 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. Mar 1, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Sue J Just magical. An emotional and creative adaptation. Beautiful and true to the style of the novel Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/16/25 Full Review Michel V 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. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/26/25 Full Review anastasia c best show ever! Claudio’s acting was marvelous Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review Audience Member One Hundred Years of Solitude is a book I casually flip through when I have free time, but this show is worth watching whether you’ve read the original novel or not. Especially the actress playing Úrsula—she perfectly embodies the image of Mother Earth as I imagined. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review Maajed W For me this faithful adaptation of Gabriel Garcia Marques' work is a testament to the magical power of filmmaking. I hope this beautiful filmmaking continues in season two. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/25 Full Review Brandon S The show looks great throughout, the cast is very interesting and every episode creates a ton of curiosity about where it's going next. Sadly, it doesn't pay off hardly anything... Almost all of the characters 'stories' go nowhere, or are just a meandering garbled mess... I don't really know what else to say, the show just can't stick to any coherent plot. There is introduction of new, interesting material constantly, with out any payoff. It honestly left me exhausted, and 5 episodes in I didn't care anymore. Why bother wondering about the new character or plot point introduced if nothing ever comes of it? Just like the last thing, and the thing before that, and so on and so on. 100 Years of Meandering Nonsense. Like a unicyclist on a treadmill, it seem interesting and entertaining, but ultimately goes nowhere. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/25 Full Review Read all reviews
