I’ve seen a couple of posts praising this show by now and I don’t want to be repetitive but it needs to be said and, I think, people need to be made aware of this show:
The show has such a beautiful literary character. I haven’t read the novel but the show feels as though you’re reading a great book.
The direction is so wonderful. Every scene is just extraordinarily well blocked and set up. The set design, the costumes, even the color grading, impeccable. The performances are sincere and deeply human. The score paints every scene it is used in in such vivid color. The writing is nothing short of poetic.
If there is one show with grace and beauty, it is this one.
I think Aureliano Buendia is one of the most interesting characters I have ever seen in a show.
It is, in my humble opinion, the single best show in Netflix’ catalogue.
