Limited Series Reviews
The Ringer
Alison Herman
The budding star at the center of Scott Frank's new Netflix series has a rare magnetism, the kind that can sell even the most esoteric of subjects.
TIME Magazine
Judy Berman
Just as you feel a familiar dynamic forming, in which a talented woman ends up intimidating her suitors, The Queen's Gambit swerves; it's probably no coincidence that a story about chess thrives on confounding audience expectations.
USA Today
Kelly Lawler
Written and directed by Scott Frank, an Oscar nominee for his "Logan" script, "Queen's" is electrifying. Frank's direction is full of quick cuts, artful framing and beautiful shots.
New Yorker
Rachel Syme
What makes "The Queen's Gambit" so satisfying comes in large measure from the character Taylor-Joy brings to screen: a charming, elegant weirdo who delivers her lines with a cool, wintergreen snap, and never really reacts the way one might expect.
Detroit News
Tom Long
"The Queen's Gambit" makes all kinds of unexpected moves.
AV Club
Danette Chavez
The series also succeeds in making the cerebral game of chess come alive even for viewers who don't know a rook from a pawn.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Raise your hand if you anticipated a coming-of-age, period-piece drama about a female chess prodigy in the 1950s and 1960s becoming perhaps the most addictive and binge-worthy series of 2020.
Paste Magazine
Allison Keene
With excellent pacing and a sure sense of itself out of the gate, The Queen's Gambit is a work of art-riveting, radiant, and simply spellbinding. Like Beth, it triumphs through its devotion to a love of the game.
Boston Globe
Matthew Gilbert
It is a transporting tale of an extraordinary life and a window onto a world of addiction and empowerment, pawns and queens.
IGN Movies
Robert Daniels
Even at its most contrived, The Queen's Gambit never slows down enough to bore you.
Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
Nothing in The Queen's Gambit feels haphazard, with Meizler filling every frame with period detail. Uli Hanisch's production design evokes both the suburban tackiness and growing luxury of Beth's ascension with equal ease.
Bitch Media
Gloria Oladipo
While it is frustrating to see Black characters still reduced to stereotypes in what has been the supposed golden age for Black roles and representation in television, it's not all that surprising.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Jen Chaney
The Queen's Gambit is still largely satisfying anyway, as a handsome-looking period piece, another showcase for Taylor-Joy's talents (and her eyes), and a consideration of anxiety, unprocessed trauma, and how both can so easily conspire to drive a genius.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
The results aren't "important," or "improving." They're just pretty irresistible.
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
The Queen's Gambit is undeniably sentimental, but I would argue that it's the various ways it holds back that makes it so effective.
Vox
Emily St. James
The Queen's Gambit has flaws. It's maybe a little too long... But The Queen's Gambit also has a healthy dose of Happy-Go-Lucky-ness at its core, in a way that almost makes it a mirror image of that film.
RogerEbert.com
Allison Shoemaker
Anchored by a magnetic lead performance and bolstered by world-class acting, marvelous visual language, a teleplay that's never less than gripping, and an admirable willingness to embrace contradiction and ambiguity, it's one of the year's best series.
indieWire
Ben Travers
It's so natural it's easy to overlook, but growing up onscreen is hard, precise work, and this young talent makes it look easy.
The Jewish Chronicle
Linda Marric
Creators Scott Frank and Allan Scott have managed the impossible here. They have succeeded in turning a story about one of the most docile and unglamorous sports into something truly magical and outstanding.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
Whatever quibbles I detail here in the name of thoroughness, I was involved from beginning to end; there are chess games and human games, and I was alert to Beth's losses and wins, in both respects, in an actual bodily way.
