Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
Márquez may have been resistant to the idea of his novel ever becoming a film, but the parties behind this television adaptation have adapted this monumental work of literature with evident care and authenticity — and created something that, like its magic-infused source material, will ultimately stand the test of time in a completely new medium.

Season 1 Review:
Such is the atmosphere created, you scarcely feel like you are watching performances at all. If there’s a parallel, then it’s the feeling you get from watching Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma or Richard Linklater’s Boyhood, works with which this spellbinding adaptation bears comparison.

Season 1 Review:
Clarity is not the point of the novel. It’s about mess and uncertainty and impossibility. But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t appreciate the opportunity to lose myself more completely in Macondo than I was able to as a reader. This adaptation has a clear reason to exist after all.

Season 1 Review:
The series may be less whimsical and daring than its source material, but Netflix’s 100 Years of Solitude is forceful in its own way. It seizes on the book’s ideas, both narratively and aesthetically, and paints a convincing, exacting portrait of the ugly clash of culture and colonialism.

Season 1 Review:
This "100" is indeed dazzling to look at and to listen to (in English, this "100 Years" would be — well — strange) while the cast is excellent. But what's missing is what possibly matters even more — those ideas, that magic. Without them, this is just another intelligent TV series with a lot of money on the screen. Márquez was right. His masterpiece is impossible to adapt.

Season 1 Review:
The story is split into two parts, with a second batch of eight episodes coming next year. But in the latter part of this first half, the bloody brutality of the war scenes effects a timely shift in tone, just as the soapy family saga is about to repeat itself too many times.

Season 1 Review:
From literally earth-shaking organisms to ghosts to the plague of insomnia, this production spares no expense, transporting the viewer to a more visually dense and compelling Macondo than I ever imagined. .... But there’s no escaping that this rich world is part of the twisted mind of Márquez. He may be a literary hero, but the man had damaging views of sex and gender. His work consistently glamorizes sex with minors and the type of male privilege that powers sexual exploitation.
