Season 1 Review:
It is Anya Taylor-Joy, playing Beth from the age of 13 to 22 in a seemingly effortless metamorphosis, who makes Frank’s film work, particularly in the way she beautifully articulates the inwardness, the fury, and the intelligence of Tevis’ creation. ... The drama that matters most is played out not on a board but on Beth’s face and in her body language, and in her heart. And thanks to the stunning collaborative skill of Scott Frank and Anya Taylor-Joy, there’s never any doubt about what that heart holds.

Season 1 Review:
Taylor-Joy's tour de force performance — one that deserves awards recognition over the months to come — is integral to the success of The Queen's Gambit, but it's far from the seven-episode saga's only asset. Boasting a novelistic, steady momentum, The Queen's Gambit works for many of the same reasons Netflix's The Crown works: It's smart, lavishly produced television for inquisitive grownups, even when it's very much operating within a genre prone to familiar rhythms. It's something to relish.

Season 1 Review:
The Queen’s Gambit is actually aware that its protagonist can occasionally be a jerk. For all the assured direction and exotic locales—including a jaunt to Paris—Beth’s internal journey is the most captivating element of The Queen’s Gambit. The series may border on wish fulfillment at times, but at least it casts a spell.

One of the best short series I've seen in years. The acting is phenomenal, the story line intriguing. Only criticism I could give is that the story line gives almost no space for a follow-up.

Started it without major expectations and it ended up being one of my favourite limited series EVER. The storyline is amazing, the acting was exquisite and it even made me interested in chess. Amazing.

This show is so good... I actually did not like the first episode, but I was intrigued, and after second episode i was hooked, all the way to overwhelming finale. This is storytelling at its best.

It's a really good show! I have no idea why it's getting bad reviews, just ignore them and enjoy the show.

Netflix'in buram buram erkek düşmanlığı kokan dizilerinden birisi. Fragmanına erkeklere laf sallayarak başlamışlar. Beni hiç şaşırtmadı.Nasıl bol propagandalı dizi çekilir öğrenmek için izlenilebilir.
