I rewatched Queen's Gambit because the Anya Taylor-Joy conversation stirred my interest.
I forgot how damn good that show is.
I had only watched it the first time through. It's worth a re-watch because there is a shitton of nuance and depth that I blew by because I was trying to figure out where the story was going. The performances were ****ing excellent. Even if they were filled with pain and trauma. I really really enjoyed the show. Even if it isn't the happiest story.
Most of the story points aren't my bag. Women, orphans, chess, the 60s, drugs, abuse, meh nothing gets me jumping up and down. But they created compelling characters and told a compelling story. And it was awesome.
Just goddamned compelling television.
