Review of The Queen's Gambit

Spectacular visual storytelling. Anya Taylor-Joy is a chameleon and one of the best of her generation. It's just fine if you don't know about chess, as this game simply provides the backdrop to the human drama that unfolds. If you got third place in your junior high chess tournament, you might like it all the more, however.
Along with some outstanding performances throughout, the set design, costumes and music choices add so much to the overall production. I'm reminded of the attention to detail that went into The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, as it had the same level of craftsmanship.
All told, this series got me from the first moments and I had a difficult time letting go at the end.
