Call me a snob, but I'm always reassured when a big new show starts to get some publicity, and it's based on a celebrated novel. Sure, there's nothing stopping showrunners from accidentally butchering a literary classic, but it tends to be a good foundation from which to build, if they have a brilliant story to adapt.
That's exactly how you'd describe Isabel Allende's The House of the Spirits, which is now coming to Amazon Prime Video as a Spanish-language show that could become something of a sensation if it matches the success of the source novel. It has a first trailer, now, and it's immediately obvious that this show will not be compromising in terms of its ambitions.
