This was so good... it's so crazy how netflix can release masterpieces like this alongside garbage like what?? Anyways i literally went into this thinking it was a true story (it's not) but that makes it so much better because the producers really mapped out a whole girl's journey through abandonment, addiction, alcoholism, all while making herself the world champion of chess. I loved how the last episode included everyone from her past returning, literally cried when she found the picture of her and sheibel in the basement, when jolene came back and when benny and the chess guys called her during her most important match. It really shows how greatness comes at a price and how you don't always have to be what other people want you to be. Thomas brodie-sangster was excellent and anya taylor-joy was a QUEEN...!
