Anya Taylor-Joy and the winning style moves of ‘The Queen’s Gambit’ [Los Angeles Times]
“The Queen’s Gambit” is the story of a most fabulous underdog. Young Beth Harmon is a troubled soul, first living in isolation with a mentally ill mother before winding up at an orphanage that drugs its young inhabitants; she fights addiction ever after. But during her travails, Beth also stumbles upon her gift: She’s a chess prodigy. Once she makes it out to the wider world, first through her adoptive parents and then to far-flung chess tournaments, the show’s look goes from dingy to vivid. The story has proved irresistible; “Queen’s Gambit” is Netflix’s most popular scripted limited series to date.
