The Queen's Gambit is one of the oldest known chess openings. It is a setup every grandmaster knows, and one of the first young chess players add to their repertoire. This miniseries has a lot of big names attached starting with its director Scott Frank, known for his work on Godless and Logan. It's funny how few of the main cast make appearances in the first episode we review, however that doesn't prevent Beth Harmon, an orphan child prodigy, from ingratiating herself as the center of this dark, exciting Cold War world.
