The Queens Gambit.

My sister recommended this series on Netflix. When she told me the subject was about chess, I felt put off. She told me not to be put off by this, and assured me I'd like it. Well, watched two episodes last night, and I'm really into it. My husband too. Has anyone here watched it?

I joined the chess club at grammar school because we could play in the library at lunchtime instead of having to go out in the rain and snow!

I am really enjoying it. Only one episode to go.. She is a really beautiful girl, the lead. I have never seen her before.

she has a very striking face (although i'm not sure if it's her eyes or hair that makes it so)

She's only 24, but has already been in lots of things:

Superb series. Very different, as is 'Unorthodox'.

I like 'different', Naomi. Loving this series. So refreshing to watch something as enjoyable as this.
Watched Unorthodox too, and was quite intrigued by it.

Me too, Patsy. Both these series are 'stand alone'.

I thought that the young Beth looked like a young Hayley Mills. Something about the eyes/mouth.

I know what you mean, Maggie..
