Adapting One Hundred Years of Solitude Sounded Impossible. It Wasn't.
Briefly

In his magnum opus, One Hundred Years of Solitude, Gabriel García Márquez displays a transcendent ability to bend time, blending the mundane and the magical within the Buendía family's story.
García Márquez claimed that the book was impossible to commit to film, stating it 'is written against the cinema' and rejecting previous attempts to adapt it until Netflix's recent project.
Netflix's adaptation, while not 100 hours long, is nonetheless a superb translation, capturing the haunting wonder of García Márquez’s novel and earning the approval of the author's sons.
Subject to García Márquez's wishes, the show is filmed in Colombia and presented in Spanish, striving to maintain the integrity of the original narrative and voice.
