Its great to be able to get into a show together with my wife since we have different interests, but Queens Gambit introduced Chess as a new bonding experience for me and my wife! Anya Taylor Joy is a such a fantastic actor I am so glad they picked her for main actress! This show is probably not what some expect, but quite realistic as she is a gifted chess master with a rough childhood and a drug addiction (the smartest people always have complicated lives). We were so sad to hear it was a limited series once we finished it but we continued the magic by playing chess together on a regular basis so thank you so much! I think as long as you dont mind watching drug addiction (prescrition pills) and some vulgar language but enjoy period shows then give this one a try!
