Netflix’s new drama, The Queen’s Gambit draws on a fictional story of a young orphan, chess prodigy who goes on to play the best Russian chess geniuses in the world.
For those who loved the period costuming and atmosphere of Mad Men or Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, this show brings the same taste on a whole other level.
Not only is the composition of the show absolutely beautiful, but the large collection of mainly unknown cast members created a wonderful universe themselves.
Anya Taylor-Joy (Emma), plays the young girl Beth Harmon. We fallow her journey along the chess world from her beginnings at an orphanage at eight years-old to her most climactic game at the age of twenty-two.
This show enters a world that most do not know, and supports the idea that knowledge is power, while it can also sometimes be crippling.
Netflix’s new miniseries is sure to garner buzz from the academy of the arts, and deserves all the accolades it receives.
