anya taylor joy: *moves bishop to K4*

me having never played chess in my life: 'OMG what a play she's humiliated him'

Anya Taylor-Joy: *stares directly into the camera with her glinting eyes after moving a chess piece*

Me, humbly shaking my head: I resign.

I feel about Anya Taylor Joy in this the way 2012 tumblr girls felt about Benedict Cumberbatch in Sherlock

i admire them for not even attempting to explain to us how chess works

If Anya Taylor-Joy and Harry Melling had children, their kids’ eyes would be the right distance apart.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Anya Taylor-Joy has done so much and is still someone whose career I’m so excited to watch progress. This is fun as hell! And the editing is sexy. If nothing else, it made me download a chess app that I deleted less than 10 minutes later!

Great. Now I'm horny for chess.

if i’d written a list of things that i thought i would’ve done in 2020, crying over chess probably would’ve came in at absolutely dead last... and yet here we are

Anya Taylor-Joy looking beautiful, being chaotic, and crushing men all around the world is right up my alley

but seriously, this is such a bingeable miniseries. hits the right notes for suspense, and even emotionally by the end as you get to know the main character – through a wonderful performance from Anya. the set and costume designs are beautiful, and I will probably listen to the score later again. Netflix’s miniseries game is definitely strong this October!

her eyeliner .. i can hear god

I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT ANYA TAYLOR-JOY

I screamed so hard when I saw Cleo in her bed. I wanna play chess now

Never thought I’d be hype over a chess match but here we are.

Fucking outstanding series.

anya taylor-joy is very hot to me and chess has never been more appealing. the first couple of episodes i was sitting there wondering what the hype was but then! i was hooked. love the wardrobe choices, love the 50s and 60s aesthetic, love that characters...great show. 4.5/5 (giving it a 5 in whole stars though)

You cannot tell me that Borgrov wasn't proud of her

can i have beth harmons style

ah yes the queen’s gambino

Was pretty disappointed to find out Beth Harmon wasn’t a real person, but at least Anya Taylor-Joy is a real person.

That was incredibly fun to watch. As a huge chess fan myself, it was so satisfying to see the beauty of the game properly represented in a big-budget show like the queen's gambit. Sure, the plot was not necessarily unpredictable, and there were aspects of the dominance of her playing as a child that were far-fetched, but overall it was a fantastic mini-series and well worth the time.

Substances are easily the main character

I sobbed over a fucking chess game

beth harmon is hot.

who knew chess players were so mf horny
