In the timeless city of Macondo, seven generations of the Buendía family navigate love, oblivion, and the inevitability of their past and fate. This is Netflix’s most expensive project in Latin America to date, with Colombian and indigenous groups. The funny thing is, I don’t remember the book like that at all.

I was swept away by almost everything, not in the first episode, I was intrigued then and I hope you let the alchemy/magic happen like I did. Let a mendicant’s cloak wrap you in its fantastical story.

It’s not a Dickens and Christmas story for kids, but it is a story for adults. And most welcome in our turbulent political times. No need to waste time scrolling endlessly – here’s the full lineup of new movies and TV shows streaming on Netflix this month.
