Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring the meeting in the students' club, Benny Watts introduces Beth to two young players named Danny Weiss and David Friedman. This might be a nod to Dan Weiss and David Benioff (whose birth name is David Friedman), co-creators of the HBO fantasy epic Game of Thrones. Scott Frank, the creator of this show, was mentioned by Benioff and Weiss as their friend several times when they announced their feature film "Dirty White Boys," claiming Frank was the one who recommended the book to them. Incidentally, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, who plays Benny Watts, appeared on Game of Thrones as Jojen Reed.
- GoofsBoth Beth and Harry Beltik refer to how they've changed since they first encountered each other "five years ago". But the Kentucky tournament took place in October 1963, and the timing of the start of this episode is right after the 1966 Mexico City invitational and before the 1967 US Championship in Ohio, so they first met approximately three years prior, not five.
- Quotes
Benny Watts: You should see the places they play in the Soviet Union.
Beth Harmon: I'm planning on it.
Benny Watts: You have to get past me first.
Beth Harmon: I'm planning on that too.
Featured review
The best written show in recent times!
Never relying on any cliché TV tropes, this series is consistently surprising me with its unexpected previous episode tie ins and dialogue. You see a scene in the second episode and wonder why it wasn't resolved fully.. You would be pleasantly surprised after a few episodes.
And HARRY freakin' MELLING mann!!!
The best acting performance in this episode. There comes a brilliant acting performance from an actor once in a while in a television series or a movie that moves you, count this as one! Watch out for this one bcs he's gonna be a prolific actooor!
