| As a huge fan of Gabriel Garcia Márquez's 1967 novel 100 Years of Solitude, I'm excited to watch the first half of Netflix's 16-part adaptation when it arrives on the streaming platform next month. This much-anticipated series is one of nine brilliant shows to stream in December, highlighted in our feature below. Also in this edition, we explore why humans feel the need to feast together and you can check out some spectacular new images of Jupiter.
What do you think of The Essential List? I've been writing it twice-weekly for more than six months now, and would love to know if you have any feedback on this newsletter (and other BBC products). Have your say by joining the BBC Global Minds community today. Happy reading and I'll be back in your inbox on Tuesday. | |
