    There’s much to relish here – lushly fantastical visuals; a sense of spirit and ambition – but it’s not for the faint-hearted.

    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.

    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.
