Netflix's lavish adaptation of the iconic 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' brings Gabriel García Márquez's magical realism to life, but struggles with the novel's problematic gender dynamics.

The show's production values are decadent, with lush costumes, evocative sets, and dazzling special effects that transport viewers to Márquez's fictional town of Macondo.
However, the adaptation faithfully preserves the author's troubling portrayals of sex and gender, including the romanticized relationship between the adult Colonel Aureliano Buendía and the young Remedios Moscote, and the molestation of the Buendía boys by the adult Pilar Ternera.
