The Queen's Gambit TV Thread

[Bandit]

Through 4 episodes and really loving this. Hopefully, it can maintain the quality till the end. Maybe it will help to make chess sexy again.

 

[Franco Pinion]

Didn't think this would be our cup of tea but we are also 4 episodes in and it's very good.

I've watched the first two and have been enjoying it. I know little about chess, so that aspect is fascinating and a game with little equipment it has stood the test of time too.

We've just finished it.

Enjoyed it immensely from start to finish and a really satisfying end, came to a natural conclusion while feeling like you want more. Really satisfying watch and a great character study.

One of the best series I've seen on Netflix for quite some time. Just oozes quality in every respect - acting, script, production design and direction.

I'm enjoying this, really didn't think I would but thought I'd check it because of all the hype. I don't give two figs about chess, for me it's just the competitive streak of the main character that's intriguing, honestly could be about any competitive game. Both the young and older actresses who play Harmon are excellent. It's a very stylish series and though the main character may not be the most pleasant or likeable in general - you can't help but root for her, as the characters she faces off against are often even less likeable

Bing-watched the whole thing over Friday and Saturday night - thought it was superb.

Who knew a story about a chess prodigy could be so gripping?

 

[Mouth]

Just started this the other night. Three episodes in now. I'm enjoying it so far.

 

[Soffie]

Just finished it, that's very good tv. It is very stylised and exaggerated - but seriously compelling viewing.
