| The Queen's Gambit Limited Series Poster by Netflix |
Another winner by Netflix, one of the very best Series I have seen this Year. It starts off a bit slow since the main Character doesn’t really do a lot of Dialogue.
Instead, much of the Story is told thru Visual Cues, like the expression of their Faces, what is happening around them, or thru the Dialogue of the other Characters, so it does need some bit of getting used to.
But once you get the hang of it, the Story just flies and flies and flies. Anya Taylor Joy as Beth Harmon was magnificent, but Isla Johnston was equally magnificent, if not more so as she totally owned the first Episode as the young Beth.
I know how to play Chess, but am not a big Fan of it, and I thought that the Creators of the Series did a fantastic Job of making the Game understandable enough to be appreciated by anyone who doesn’t know about it.
Although the Series is mainly about Chess, but it is also much more than that, it is a Coming of Age Story, a Thriller, it tackled Alcohol and Medication Addiction, Relationships, etc.
Director Scott Frank’s last collaboration with Netflix, the Western themed Limited Series “Godless” released in 2017 was also a Masterpiece, and now I am a big Fan of his, I am looking forward to his next Series.
A Must-See, as I mentioned before, one of the best Series of 2020.
