A couple of weeks ago I saw The Queen's Gambit Mini Series and I wanted to share my review with you.
Orphaned at the tender age of nine, prodigious introvert Beth Harmon discovers and masters the game of chess in 1960s USA. But child stardom comes at a price.

Plot Overview (No Spoilers)
The Queen’s Gambit is a beautifully created miniseries that follows the life of Beth Harmon. Beth is a young chess prodigy. We follow her life (with some flashes) from her childhood in the orphanage and we follow her as she navigates through the male-dominated world of competitive chess.
The movie takes place in the 1960s, and the director has done a great job with the costumes, the style and the atmosphere.
The series dives deep into Beth's personal growth, resilience, and struggles, blending her brilliant strategy of chess with the complexities of her emotion, ambitions, skills but also weaknesses.
At the same time, the story skillfully floats around the challenges of addiction and the strength required to overcome personal demons.
Be ready for powerful messages of hope, belief, confidence and success.
Who should see this story:
Anyone who is passionate about mastering their craft.
Anyone who enjoys a well-made series (it only has 6 one hour episodes) and anyone who also likes chess of course.
The series is characterized as a drama.
Creators: Scott Frank -Allan Scott
Stars: Anya Taylor-Joy, Chloe Pirrie - Bill Camp
I agree with the 8.5 star rating and I highly recommend it.
