i mean on the whole i liked the show but it's worth noting that it's a Choice to make beth's climactic bad decision be to sleep with a girl she likes

what's interesting about THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT is that it starts with a decidedly critical look at the world beth was born into--rigid, stifling, choking on gender roles--but then as it gradually loses that underlying anger it becomes an increasingly shmaltzy morality play

my first thought, having not seen the show, was they’re copying sherlock & house
