Watchable for the cinematography and the fashion. Leads do well with their parts, such as they are. Storyline is OK, but extremely superficial and contrived. You know who these characters are and what will happen from episode one, and there's really no surprises. Seems like there was a missed opportunity to make at least some use of chess strategy in the plot, but oh well. All in all, one of those that's ok if you're just looking for something for filling some time or to have on in the background. 5 stars. These 9s and 10s are way too high, IMO.
