Story
In the timeless town of Macondo, seven generations of the Buendía family navigate love, oblivion, and the inevitability of their past and destiny. This is Netflix’s most expensive Latin American project to date, with Colombian groups and indigenous communities building props and sets for the series.

No censorship, please!
I’m looking forward to the questionable ethnic issues! No need to waste time scrolling endlessly—here’s the full lineup of new movies and TV shows streaming on Netflix this month.
