Queen's Gambit is a great mini series, but as someone who loves Chess it kinda sucks knowing that it's probably the peak in big budget entertainment that's going to revolve around Chess ever, because it's such a dry topic. I'm a halfway decent player, and I absolutely loved the brilliance of the games that were arranged, but I don't think you would necessarily have to be any good at it or even be interested in the game at all to enjoy the series. Anya Taylor-Joy was amazing as Beth Harmon. Seriously recommend to anybody, really.
