Beginning in the mid-1950s and proceeding into the 1960s, The Queen's Gambit (2020) follows the life of Beth Harmon (Anya Taylor-Joy), an orphaned chess prodigy on her rise to the top of the chess world while struggling with drug and alcohol dependency.
Hands down, my favorite series to come out of 2020. It has all the components for a stellar series: phenomenal production, sharp writing, controlled and precise pacing... all masterfully delivered in gifted performances from a perfect cast. 10/10
