~ I am watching this series, right now. ~ If you love chess, this is a must watch. ~ The guys took chess for granted and she took it seriously. ~

Netflix view system is pretty shaky at best like how they tired to say Daredevil lost views which was a lie or how they count like 15 seconds of you watching something as a view

Great show. TheQueensGambit

It was a good show, but is becoming a bit overrated.
