The Queen's Gambit

[Angela Channing]

Has anyone seen this series?

I've recently finished watching this and it's so good. It's so well made, from the writing to the acting, the cinematography and the editing, it's a triumph. It's hard to imagine a series about a girl playing chess could hold your attention for 7 episodes but it's compelling. I really recommend watching this.

Completely agree. I binge watched it in two sessions and it was amazing

Watched the first three episode tonight and really enjoyed it. Great story, well paced and well acted.

Amazing mini series. Loved it from start to the (very satisfying) end.

Probably the best TV series I watched in 2020; I wouldn't have imagined that chess could be so exiting to watch.

They're contemplating the idea of a season 2, and Anya Taylor, the lead actress talks about what she'd wish for her character.

Maybe I am the only one on this, but season 1 was near perfection, and the ending was so satisfying, that I think we really should stay there. Do I need a second season that could potentially damage the characters and their stories?

Yes, it's just because it was so successful they are talk about a season 2 but it's totally unnecessary. The mini series had a beginning, middle and end that really does not require expanding upon.

Exactly. And the main character is in such a good place, in the end, after all that pain and loneliness she faced since she was kid, that I think they should leave her to that.
But will Netflix give up such a successful show?

I was so hesitant to watch because I didn't think "a show about chess" could really go anywhere but it was really compelling - it definitely spiked an interest in chess (I know I dusted off my old chess board after watching). Not sure how they'd be able to work in a second season but knowing Netflix...
