So I know what your thinking, a show about chess?……this can’t be good. Well I’ve got news for you……..if you are an avid chess player you’ll love this, if your a casual chess player, you’ll love it, even if you don’t know anything about chess you will love it.

I would advise you plan carefully when you decide to watch this show, you get hooked very quickly and end up binging this to the end in very short order. It’s too addicting, suspenseful and thoroughly entertaining to not want to watch all 7 hours at once.

The cast is beyond amazing, Anya Taylor-Joy does an outstanding job. The story and writing is brilliant with amazing cinematography that captured every little detail for the time period (clothing, sets and music)!

This is must see……..The only disappointment is that there probably will not be a season two.
