Ever stumble into a show and have it catch you by surprise?


A young girl in the 60's becomes a worldwide chess phenom. Yes, this movie is about a girl who plays chess.

And drinks. And takes drugs.

And it's EXCELLENT. And mark my words- ANYA TAYLOR-JOY will win an Emmy for her portrayal of Beth, the leading role

Trust me. Watch it.

Dad put me on this, I'm only on the 4th episode.

Can confirm pending Emmy.

optimistic for softcore porn

 

[RaginCajun]

The star of this show looks like a sexy alien. ?

Chick starred in the New Mutants movie that was delayed for like 2 years and nobody saw in theaters because COVID.

She is a cutie

 

[RussfromNH]

I like that is takes place during the 60's (yeah im a boomer)
Orphaned at 9, this prodigious introvert is dealing with soo many issues as she becomes a chess prodigy

Checked out first two episodes last night, really enjoyed it, wanted to watch more but had to be up early. Will watch the rest today.

Also I blew up a train today. Good times

the last episode reminded me that without sex and drugs, chess is pretty boring.

Awesome, I’m in need of a new show and I never even thought about giving this one a try. Thanks for the reco @RussfromNH !

What about them little bald headed bitches?

Great series, a few things that I took away from it.

- Girls have sex with every guy that befriends them.

- Alcohol and drugs can be performance enhancing.

- Russian is an easy language to learn.

- The Benny character is David Spade's best performance yet.

Lmao @ David Spade

Funny, after she has sex with "David Spade" she says "..so that's what it's supposed to feel like"
I guess Spade knows what's up

Ah man, how is the derelict? I miss him. Forum is lacking in blackout injuries and inappropriate comments without his presence.

He's doing good. He got a new woman. She seems to have him tamed, which is good.

I find the main actress giant eyes attractive and she has a great rack. im binge watching hanna right now on amazon but I think this show is next then suburra and 3%.

The actor reminded me a lot of a younger David Spade, he was like the Joe Dirt of the Chess world.

I seriously enjoyed the series though. I'm a shit Chess player but I enjoy the game and thought that they did well in managing to make a compelling drama series using such an unusual vessel in chess.

LMAO @ Joe dirt but you're 100% right, who wears a knife to a chess tournaments
Ditto regarding chess, I love to play but i'm not great.

It is refreshing to see something other than regurgitated super hero movie plots. Her needing the drugs and alcohol in a way other than to drown her sorrows in is different as well
glad you enjoyed it!

I enjoyed it because her weaknesses were something that made her more human, she wasn't some chess robot. Turning up to her most important match ever with a massive hangover, is something that I'm sure a lot of people with self-destructive natures, or substance abuse problems, could relate to at some level.


One day we should have a match to see who is the worst. I think my current score on Chess.com is like 300 and I've been playing on and off for over 30 years..

She's gorgeous. I was going to say "she's way hotter than the real female world chess champion" but then I googled her and she's not the wilderbeast I was expecting. Definitley would.
