Check.... Mate

Thought I'd check this out, pun intended. Heard very good things about this, everyone seems to be watching this. I was a bit dubious how a short series about a Chess prodigy would make interesting viewing. I happen to like Chess as well.
The story follows Beth a young girl sent to an orphanage and discovers a natural ability for Chess and an addiction.
The show is very stylish, with the 60's fashion, Cars and Music. Anya Taylor-Joy has a look that just grabs your attention with her striking red hair. It's interesting, especially if you do play yourself, although it does progress as you would expect.
You'll breeze through it in no time.

Gosh, I wanted this to be so much better than it was. One of the main reasons I wanted to see it was because it was one of Anton Yelchin's last movies. The music was definitely killer, and so was the fashion. Olivia Cook and Anya Taylor-Joy were great together. It was entertaining overall, I just had unrealistic expectations. RIP Anton <3

Thoroughbred For A New Generation

With its striking visuals and cleverly paced plot points, this modern day cat and mouse teen Crime Thriller will leave you speechless by the end credits. Anya Taylor-Joy's performance more than makes up for the film's weaker plot points as she brings a sense of vulnerability to the character that otherwise may have felt less memorable if portrayed by any other actress. As usual Olivia Cooke delivers a fabulously balanced performance mixed with dead pan that just makes sense given the subject matter. I feel this chic mystery will garner a cult following in the years to come and it rightly deserves so.
