[quote name="Fullofkittens"]I enjoyed the series, I saw it as an entry in the same genre as <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116442/">GRACE OF MY HEART (1996)</a>: A Portrait of a Woman's Success Viewed Through The Lens of All The Boys She Fucked on the Way to the Top. I enjoy that movie as well! The reason people like THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT isn't because it's a chess documentary, it's because it's a well-written-acted-and-made period drama starring the lovely Anya Taylor-Joy before Hollywood apparently did a number on her self-image causing her to starve herself into looking like a pretty alien.[/quote]
