A third person wrote: "#TheQueensGambit starring @anyataylorjoy on @NetflixUK is absolutely enthralling and beautifully paced drawing you in from the very first episode right until the last scene of the final episode. Anya Taylor Joy is amazing as the fictional chess genius Elizabeth Harmon."
The series follows Anya Taylor-Joy as Beth
Chatting about the role to Town and Country magazine, Anya said: "I was electrified by this character, and I understood her immediately. I feel very lucky that it feels like sometimes a lightning bolt takes hold of me.
"In the case of Beth, I read the book [Walter Tevis's 1983 novel The Queen's Gambit] first; I hadn't actually seen any of the scripts. I read the book in about an hour and then I ran, like physically ran, to meet [show runner] Scott Frank for dinner. We were instantly in the same place."
She continued: "I understood her immediately. And I really felt like I could tell the story right. It doesn't come from a place of confidence, it comes from a place of fierce care. I cared about her so much that I was like, 'Oh yeah, I'm willing to bleed for this.'"
