The Queens Gambit - Season 1
TrailerEight year-old orphan Beth Harmon is quiet, sullen, and by all appearances unremarkable. That is, until she plays her first game of chess. Her senses grow sharper, her thinking clearer, and for the first time in her life she feels herself fully in control. By the age of sixteen, she's competing for the U.S. Open championship. But as Beth hones her skills on the professional circuit, the stakes get higher, her isolation grows more frightening, and the thought of escape becomes all the more tempting. Based on the book by Walter Tevis.Genre: DramaActors: Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Bill Camp, Moses Ingram, Harry Melling, Anya Taylor-Joy, Chloe Pirrie, Isla Johnston, Annabeth Kelly, Marielle Heller, Janina Elkin, Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, ...»Director: Scott FrankCountry: United StatesDuration: 60 minQuality: HDRelease: 2020IMDb: 8.50 CommentsSort By- Newest

Critic Reviews of "The Queens Gambit - Season 1"
ObserverOctober 19, 2020The Queen's Gambit is a visual character study thanks to its period setting and nifty cinematography.
Entertainment WeeklyOctober 22, 2020Taylor-Joy excels in the quiet moments, her eyelids narrowing as she decimates an opponent, her whole body physicalizing angry desperation when the game turns against her.
New York TimesOctober 22, 2020If it doesn't win you over, "Gambit" will at least play you to a draw.
CNN.comOctober 22, 2020The tale of a troubled chess prodigy, Taylor-Joy's magnetic presence is enough reason to watch this handsome Netflix limited series, even if the seven-part production gets dragged out about three episodes too long.
Wall Street JournalOctober 21, 2020Ms. Taylor-Joy is really the beginning and endgame of The Queen's Gambit, and gives a performance that is as precisely physical as it is emotional.
VarietyOctober 21, 2020The Queen's Gambit manages to personalize the game and its players thanks to clever storytelling and, in Anya Taylor-Joy, a lead actor so magnetic that when she stares down the camera lens, her flinty glare threatens to cut right through it.
Film Festival TodayOctober 22, 2020The Queen's Gambit is watchable, but lacks the kind of genuine mystery that would elevate the material beyond that middling bar. It's better than a draw, but not much more.
Vanity FairOctober 22, 2020This is the sort of delicate prestige television that Netflix should be producing more often. It's smart and gentle and tastefully assured in the worthiness of its subject.
The GateOctober 22, 2020Scott Frank's latest limited series, The Queen's Gambit, is an intelligent, anxious, detail oriented character study that's a perfect reflection of the game at its centre.
Ready Steady CutOctober 22, 2020With its strong themes and understanding of the times, this is a must-see drama this year. This series serves a checkmate in its opening chapters.
The Newnan Times-HeraldOctober 20, 2020It's a unique sports film that examines feminism while also touching on ominous Cold War politics. "The Queen's Gambit" is one of the most intelligent and engaging Netflix series presently on the streaming platform.
