November 9, 20204 yr i’ve seen nothing but praise so it’s going on my list i’ll report back in two years
November 15, 20204 yr I watched this 2 weeks ago and forgot to mention it Considering I don't know the rules of Chess (well, I used to 20 years ago... but I've completely forgotten :lol: ) this was surprisingly gripping and absorbing! Outside of the chess games, I enjoyed the coming-of-age element to the storyline and rooted for Beth to triumph, not just in chess, but with her life after having a difficult upbringing. This was a period drama done really well - I appreciated how much effort must have gone into making every shot throughout this season look authentically 60s. Some of the outfits were so glamourous. It was a visual treat! :wub: Definitely one of the best shows of 2020.
November 15, 20204 yr enough people have told me to start watching this so I added it to my list a couple weeks ago with my usual intention of I'll probs not watch it cos I barely watch TV shows... anyway I've started it last night and I'm obsessed
November 15, 20204 yr Oh we watched this last weekend and it's great. The performances by pretty much the whole cast are great but Anya Taylor-Joy is just so compelling in the lead role... my favourite character since Killing Eve first aired.
November 15, 20204 yr Yes, I finished this on Friday and loved it from start to finish. And how quick things escalated when she went full alcoholic and that eye make up was quite something!!! Oh and never knew 'Venus' wasn't Bananarama original!!!
November 16, 20204 yr Anybody else feel super emotional during Beth's last game? :cheeseblock: The whole series was so surprisingly captivating. It was a pleasure to watch.
November 19, 20204 yr ugh this was perfection :cheeseblock: Everything was so amazing. the acting, the direction, the script, the costumes, whew. Easily one of the best TV shows I've seen in a long long time. and can we talk more about Anya Taylor-Joy SLAYING this :cheeseblock: I've been stanning her for a few years now but she blew me away during this, one of the best performances I've seen in a long long time!! And every time I thought she couldn't get better, episode 6 & 7 whew she was perfect *.* ready for her to properly break-out now and surely she's a golden globe/emmy winning contender for this *.* Oh and never knew 'Venus' wasn't Bananarama original!!! Same!!!!!!!!! I was shook when that came on, that scene was so good & I always thought Bananarama's was an original aha *.* And now I've been listening to the original so much since watching! Anybody else feel super emotional during Beth's last game? :cheeseblock: I full on cried I was a messT
November 26, 20204 yr When Venus came on haha I was like whut what huh!?!? A great series I really enjoyed it best thing I've watched in a while!
December 5, 20204 yr agree great show was thinking of checking the book too but not sure if worth it after watching the tv show
December 11, 20204 yr Watched this over 2 evenings and I loved it. Not just about Chess after all and I'm so glad I watched it before it goes.
