The Queen's Gambit (Limited Series)(Netflix) - Anya Taylor-Joy the Gawdess

[FlyRy]

Great show. I've had trouble explaining to people exactly why it's good, but it is good. ATJ is obviously the thing that sells the show, plus dope cinematography and the addiction-obsession story is relatable.

I still have 2 eps left.

Scott frank breh. He was involved with Minority Report and Logan. Plus out of sight. Lifetime pass

Netflix kept pushing this shyt everytime I logged in...I would see this series pop up.

Im glad I watched though, very entertaining

This show start losing me everytime they start talkin bout chess.
I dont know the 1st thing bout that shyt so it might as well be in Russian with no subtitles

Chess films are usually dope so I ended up binge watching this in 2 days.

Good show but yeah, they went a little too hollywood-y at strange times. I was mostly fine with it up until the last ep, the "gang gets back together" troupe was unnecessarily out of nowhere. They could've built it up instead of a surprise that felt like a jump-the-shark moment.

I mean

Spoiler

the Russians have Grand Masters going over Beth's moves and the americans have 1 good player (Benny), a decent one and bunch of jobbers trying to help Harmon in a last ditch effort that came out left field. Have her meet other strong players or Benny prepare all week with that crew instead of one long ass phone call

And Beth getting friendzoned by the gay dude was weird as fukk


Overall, I liked the chess parts the most, those big matches felt important every single time.

This never getting a sticky is shameful

Film Room mods love putting up 15 stickies and half of them being ass so nothing of importance was lost there.
