Last week, Netflix
dropped arguably the best series of the year – The Queen’s Gambit! In the first
look, the show looks like it came right out of Gossip Girl from the 60s era. Of
course, it was much clever and twisted than an ordinary high-school drama of
the upper-east side!

The show is led by the
drop-dead gorgeous and thunderous talent – Anya-Taylor Joy. She will be seen as
a child prodigy adorned in 60s wardrobe. You must be wondering what could the
show possibly be about. Well, it’s about chess and tranquillizers and all
things addictive.

The show has gained a
massive fan following in a matter of few days and has put Anya-Taylor Joy in
the list of mainstream actresses, capable of single-handedly leading
big-budgeted projects. However, that’s not it – you’ll also find spectacular
supporting cast, including, Moses Ingram, Christiane Seidel, and Thomas
Brodie-Sangster, and more.

The miniseries is
adapted from a novel with the same title. It’s about a young orphan who learns
chess from Mr. Shaibel, a janitor in her orphanage, and ends up becoming the
best chess player in the world at a very young age!

The series has seen
some remarkable characters apart from Beth. Like Benny, Harry, and Townes – who
were initially her rivals but they turn out to be her best friends. Jolene is
another childhood friend of Beth, who turns her life around – even when no one
adopted her. We certainly believe every supporting character deserves a
spin-off series!

The most interesting
thing about this show is that you don’t need to be a chess prodigy to
understand this show. In fact, it doesn’t matter if you’ve played this game
before or not, you’ll still find yourself engrossed and inspired. 

If you’re looking for
something new to watch, make sure that give this show a go! The seven-episode
series came on Netflix on the 23^rd of October and became a fan
favorite for two reasons – for the storyline and memes!

We’ve managed to
collect some of the best memes or Queen Gambit memes by fans on social media based on Queen’s Gambit characters from the Queen’s Gambit episodes! Check them out!

 

So, which of the Queen Gambit reaction do you find on point? Are you too waiting for the Queen’s Gambit season 2?
