Ana Taylor-Joy is simply mesmerizing. If anyone did not recognize this young English actress before, they will after watching this superb limited-run series. Great things lie ahead for her, and for her audience.
The direction of this show stood out for me. The director made chess exciting, imparting just enough knowledge to appreciate the game at the highest level. The special effects were a perfect device for showing how an world-class player thinks so many moves ahead. Overall the look was gorgeous, the pacing spot on, the tension perfect.
Well done Netflix . This makes up for those boring warrior Princess shows. Now get this production team another project ASAP..
Now, back to figuring out what to watch.
