I feel like the minority here but I found this series to be too slow and drawn out making it a bit tedious to watch.

I do love the idea of a female chess player's journey. And the last scene was well done.

However I have read reviews of other movies complaining that the movie could have been edited down by 50% or more. That is how I feel about this series. It could have been done in three episodes. But as it is there are scenes or camera shots that just go on and on like they need to fill up time. Not sure how there can be so many 10 ratings ... does Netflix somehow reward people for giving their shows high ratings?

I thought the main actress was interesting, but she did not really portray the depth or power to match the achievements of the character.

Thus I won't be passing on the recommendation I received to watch it.
