The Queen’s Gambit | 2020
Blurb
I was on the fence with Queen’s Gambit and watched it again since I kept thinking about the story. I really enjoyed QG a second time. Sharp writing, solid acting, amazing sets and costumes, nice delivery of chess knowledge, and broken characters who thrive anyway! Make a martini and settle in...it’s hard to only watch one episode.

Acting
Anna Taylor-Joy, Marielle Heller, Thomas Brodie-Sanster, and Harry melling. The chemistry between these four is fantastic to watch. Add two child actors, Thomas (Love Actually) and Harry (Harry Potter), with memorable faces and the complexity layer spikes. Great casting!
