Watched this on a friend’s suggestion and loved every minute of it. Binge watched it. I haven’t read the book (I ordered it now, it should arrive by this Sunday) but thoroughly enjoyed the feast on screen. I was only amazed with how beautifully they have shown the change in Macondo and its’ citizens. I got connected to the story line almost instantly. Except for awe, no emotions overpowered till episode 6, I started feeling sad from episode 6 which peaked by the climax (for now its episode 8). It is a tragic story, with all elements from real life neatly wrapped in ‘magical realism’. I loved it, would surely rewatch before the next 8 episodes air.
Also, why is there not much discussion on it? I am very eager for the next 8 episodes, but by then I would have completed the book, so yay!
