This show is good. It deals with the story of the main protagnist well, but eventually it is the same old story of a prodigy outwitting all his/her opponenets. Watching this show reminded me of Indian Idol & KBC, because whenever a participant wins something good there, there is a special small movie about them showing how they had been torutred in their past, and how they had nothing to eat and nowhere to go to. Even hollywood studios can't make a good story about a prodigy unless he/she is from a tormented childhood. Nevertheless, the actress they chose for the role, Anya Taylor Joy, is looking like the epitome of beauty.

The character has been fleshed out very well, but the discussions about Chess are not presented in a way that it can be understood even by regular chess players. It is somewhat like the show SUITS. You never know what strategy are they talking about, the laws and the rulings, all you know is that you want the main character to win. You do feel dumb at one point. As usual Netflix always makes sure that the quality standard of visuals is mantiained, and so it has been here too. NO NUDITY, just 2 partially encated sex scenes, which kids can pass through without getting scarred. Hah!

It is a Netflix Original Series.

My Rating - 6 out of 10
