The 17 year old and I watched the first episode of Say Nothing last night, hooked.

I started the audiobook on my run the other day, a little halfway through- when I'm done I'll be immediately starting the show!

total delight. Adam Brody and Kristin Bell have insane chemistry, and the supporting cast is a delight.

Extremely skeptical. This is a wonderful book that I don't expect will translate to screen very easily.

Same. Although I read an article in NYT that talked about why the estate and Marquez's son gave the go ahead for this version...so I will probably at least watch E1.
(I'd link it, but it's probably paywalled.)

We already have Arrested Development: multi-generational, downward-trending incestuous family in a decaying home with repeated names and a plot that uses references to events both past and future as jokes in a kind of circular time...

And that's not even counting the banana-centered plot points!

I'm a little late to the party, but I started Ripley last week and am halfway through. What an incredible show. It's one of those situations where I have to stop myself from watching it all in a few days because I don't want it to end. After the first watch through, I think I could actually watch it again without the sound even on. It's such a beautifully shot show.

Absolutely gorgeous. I would love if they ended up doing another book in the series for a second season.

Paste seems to have liked it…
Netflix’s Sumptuous One Hundred Years of Solitude Brings Gabriel García Márquez’s Epic to Dazzling Life
One Hundred Years of Solitude is a faithful adaptation that gets the weird, untameable spirit of Gabriel García Márquez’s tale exactly right.

I just finished Day of the Jackal today, it was pretty great!
A couple other shows you might like: Black Doves, The Agency, and Say Nothing.
