Isabel Allende's seminal novel The House of the Spirits was first adapted in 1993 with enough A-list talent to make a Robert Altman film jealous. Yet, that movie wasted one of the crowning jewels of Latin American literature in a toned-down story that missed all the nuance in favor of flashy Hollywood spectacle. Over 30 years would pass before another adaptation hit our screens, but the wait was worth it, because Prime Video's new miniseries finally does justice to Allende's masterpiece.
