I’ve passed on watching the @netflix.com version of #OneHundredYearsOfSolitude for fear that, like so many other adaptations, it would lose the soul of the great work. But seems it’ll find its way in the queue…
I absolutely adore One Hundred Years of Solitude, so I was so thrilled when the miniseries based on Gabo’s epic novel proved to be a beautiful adaptation.
So of course I had to talk to its creative team about how they pulled it off for @latimes.com

How do you adapt 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' into a TV show? By taking creative risks.
The creatives behind 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' knew the best way to make something Gabriel García Márquez would have been proud of was to make it their own.
