I've been watching it (almost through the last episode) but I find it kind of...boring? It's beautiful and so is the main actress, but I just can't get into it! (Yet I still have spent 7 hours on it, oh well...)

Did you recognize Sam from Love Actually ?

Yes and he looks exactly the same.

He really does look the same. Total baby face

It is quite clearly marked as a "limited" series. That means no. It's based on one book and we hit the end of the story. Preferable to dragging something out season after season long after its died.

But I agree, it was excellent.

I really enjoyed it!

I thought it was fabulous.

I binged it - and I have only ever binged one series before. Just couldn’t stop watching it and finished it in a day.

Thought it was great. NYT gave it a so-so review, but it's WRONG! The show was mesmerizing start to finish. I binged it because I could not stop watching. Great performances, great costumes, great sets, direction, everything. Script was great. Really, I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed a movie about a game I know nothing about: Chess!!

One book, one season. Loved it so much! Could watch the last half hour over and over!

Unbelievable show. I loved so much about it, but the best part was her acting. Highly recommend and a good show for a mature teenager.

Loved it! One of the best Netflix original series I have seen.

I finished it in a day! I really liked it!

Really enjoyable 7 part series
