The queens gambit on netflix,

[Yipitsme]

I'm loving this trying to stop binging on it.dont even like chess!fantastic acting

The girls at her school were horrible though

I loved it. I do think it was abit far fetched but that didn’t put me off. I don’t think a call from America to Moscow would’ve gone unlistened to would it? Not in the 60’s.

I really enjoyed it. I found it incredibly refreshing to some degree. Firstly it’s a woman triumphing for intelligence. Secondly, while she had relationships - really the main thing was friendship rather than a love story.
Found it quite inspirational.

There's a longer discussion of this over on Streamed TV.

Just finished watching! We really enjoyed it. I loved it when she started seeing the chess board on the ceiling without the drugs

Loved it so much! Best thing I've seen in ages! Who knew chess could be so exciting haha

I'm bored with it (episode 6). Thought the mums acting was...odd. it's very netflix, completely runs out of steam after a few episodes and the pacing goes weird. Would have been better as a film.
