The Queen's Gambit
Overview
A chess prodigy with a pill problem takes on the male-dominated world of 1960s competitive chess — and somehow it plays like a thriller. Anya Taylor-Joy is magnetic as Beth Harmon, and the show makes you hold your breath over board games, which should be impossible. Gorgeous to look at, quietly heartbreaking underneath. Even if you don't know a rook from a bishop, you'll be hooked by episode two.
