Was hesitant to give it a shot but so glad I did!
10 November 2020
The thought of a show about chess just seemed incredibly boring so I was really hesitant to give this a shot. I can now say after finishing it in a day and a half that I am so glad I did!

What an incredible story with great characters, actors, relationships, and lessons. It's also so refreshing to see an intelligent female character in a show that doesn't play into stereotypes. She is incredibly smart but also very human.

I do not know how to even play chess or have any prodigy like talents but I still felt I could relate to Elizabeth. She is such an inspiring character and I loved following her journey the whole way through.

Definitely give this show a chance, you won't regret it.

Reminded me of a Sandler film, not in a good way.

The plot immediately sounded absurd but I absolutely love Seth Rogen and was really hoping I would find his unique humor in this movie but I just didn't. This film had to have been written for Adam Sandler. It just seems like something Sandler's exhausted a million times. It was just really stupid. Still love you Seth but, this was dumb. 3 stars instead of one because I did chuckle twice.

Watched it with low expectations but ended feeling thankful I watched it

This show was way more than I expected. The writing is amazing, the singing and choreography were stunning. It truly made me laugh at times and I don't remember the last time I cried so hard. These actors are seriously talented and this show is 100% worth watching.
