I watched "The Queen's Gambit," a short series on Netflix, within a couple of days. The character development is nothing short of impressive, and the desire to learn chess by the end of the show is undeniable. 369
As an orphan transforms into the youngest female to reach professional-level chess while also navigating puberty and instability at home, viewers enjoy artistic filming, dry-humorous scenes, and realistic social interactions between a girl who came from nothing and a challenging world. It must be noted that this show is not for everyone. There is drug and alcohol abuse, as well as sexual content, but for appropriate audiences, it is inspirational and absolutely worth the watch. 962
