January 21, 20214 yr Author I whipped through the first four episodes in fairly quick order, but hit a wall with the fifth one and my interest waned a little bit. Thankfully though, it comes back storming towards the end. As a series, it just hits in so many areas and without leaning too hard into cliche.
January 25, 20214 yr World chess champion Magnus Carlsen talks about Queen's gambit in 3 videos, very interesting for whoever plays chess not too bad.
January 25, 20214 yr From certain angles the main actress looks like Nimue Smit, one of my favorite models a few years ago. She was a top model for some time.
January 25, 20214 yr Anya is understandably getting a lot of attention for the show, as she should. It was mainly only the one episode, but Isla was very good as well.
January 26, 20214 yr Author Provided film releases are still a thing by 2023, Anya Taylor-Joy as a young Furiosa in the forthcoming Mad Max prequel is something I'll be very curiosa (sorry) to see.
