julz 6,517 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I did not find a thread for this amazing limited series. Definitely a must watch! I got hooked because i used to play chess when i was a kid...but the story, the cast, the musical score, character development, the cinematography, the social relevance ...everything really.. really made me mark this as one of the best mini series produced this year. No filler scenes, which I very like. And the actress really "played" this role right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatfoxyfeeling 12,947 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I put it off because I thought it’d be boring but I really enjoyed it. It’s an awards contender and Anya deserves an Emmy for her performance she’s outstanding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

julz 6,517 Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 The binge was really worth it on this one. It's a rockstar story really, Beth's story. It reminded me of ASIB, except the ending Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Economy 48,984 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Its been on my list for a couple weeks and I finally started whatching it yesterday and love it! I meant to binge whatch it all at once but I was having internet problems yesterday and had to keep taking breaks so I only saw the first 3 episodes so far I got to the part where she lost the match against the long haired guy and she was pissed and her mom was trying to calm her down that loosing 1 game isn't the end of the world So far I love the series Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilyLark 10,074 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 One of my favorite shows that I've watched over the past few years. The acting, set design, costumes...perfect. I only wish there had been a bit more Jolene and a bit less Benny. One thing I was confused about was Townes.... Spoiler Am I the only one who thought Townes being gay (heavily implied but never outright stated) wasn't well written by the screenwriters? If they had left it at him going "I was a little confused" I absolutely think him being gay would have made sense (e.g. he wasn't sure of his sexuality when he had his moment with Beth, but then later on realized he was gay). However, when he went "you broke my heart" and flew all the way out to Moscow for a woman he had sporadic contact with at best....that was A LOT...and kind of read like he was more fluid on the Kinsey scale and/or bi.

It reminded me of ASIB, except the ending Yeah I liked the series overall but the ending, when that giant queen piece falls from the ceiling and kills the main character, I did not expect Former First Lady of the United States. Now card-carrying member of the Communist Party of China (CPC). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
