Emerging at the end of a big year for TV adaptations of unfilmable novels, from The Sympathizer to 3 Body Problem to Interior Chinatown, One Hundred Years of Solitude is among the best of the bunch.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.
TV. Plus Icon. What To Watch.Now, with the blessing of his sons Rodrigo García and Gonzalo García Barcha, who serve as executive producers, Netflix has adapted the sweeping masterwork into a two-part limited series spanning over 16 hours of television. (Netflix hasn’t yet announced when Part 2 will premiere.) With directors Alex García López and Laura Mora at the helm for Part 1, “One Hundred Years of Solitude” is exquisitely detailed and layered in intricate symbolism. The show is one of the most faithful page-to-screen adaptations in recent years.
