Hello friends!
Let's catch up. This seven part mini-series has been out a while on Netflix, & has taken home a few awards as well. The story follows orphaned Elizabeth Harmon, as she discovers her love & talent for chess.
Throughout each episode we watch her grow as a person, & as an avid chess player. Competition after competition keeps the suspense high, & the audience is taken on a whirlwind journey of emotions as she discovers who she is & finds her place in the world.
This show was written in such a way that you can know absolutely nothing about chess & still love & admire it. It's incredibly well acted, & a very moving story altogether. I personally find it even better than Netflix's other main original series, Stranger Things.
If you have any good show recommendations for me, or just general comments or suggestions, please send them my way! I truly love & appreciate all feedback.
Slainté!
Kathleen 💛
