This was very entertaining up until the last episode when they had to present a benevolent character from the past who just so happened to show up at exactly the right time to save the heavily flawed white protagonist. Just as silly than if it were the other way around.

It's based on Walter Tevis's 1983 novel of the same name. It's fiction.

Here is an article that shows the differences between the book & the miniseries.

We have a lot of "diversity" infiltrated.
The cherry on the cake is how women are better than men at everything. Of course it's fiction. Look around you and you'll see that everything was made by men. And specifically in chess, TOP 100 players in the world, only 2 are female.
But with all the propaganda inside, the series was entertaining.

Jolene was a bad ass. And I quite liked her character. There is always room for criticism but I wonder if that criticism would have been leveled if “Christian Crusade” had footed the bill. It was definitely a “ Kumbaya” moment of her realizing that she was never really alone in the finally. But the bottom line is everyone wanted something. Not a bad realization theme for the finale.

So not only does @therapist have terrible taste (Veggie Tales is far more riveting than QB. And a vegetable could out-act the perpetually blank Ana Taylor-Joy every day of the week).
Then follow that with his incel “genius” informing us women haven’t succeeded because men are inherently better. Words of a desperate failure with XY chromosomes. Meanwhile, we women were constantly held back from exploring and studying. I had teachers (in a program solely for those with a gifted IQ or higher, where they hired emotionally unstable sadists “teach” us/punish the girls for doing anything that wasn’t arts or literary-related. They wouldn’t dare let that threat develop!), rather than compliment my hard work, accuse me of plagiarizing because “no child is that smart, ESPECIALLY a girl.” —direct words! And as my passion for chess developed, the boys were actively encouraged to explore it, given school time to do so. The boys made it clear it wasn’t for girls, supported by their bigoted male teacher. Despite escalating the punishments and bullying, accusing me of plagiarization/etc, I still knocked everyone out of the park. Unfortunately, that just turned up the hate to 11. Girls like that must be “put in their place” to protect the boys and their burgeoning careers (an argument used to acquit a well-documented, violent rape by a trust fund bro), so says the bigots.
How infuriating it must be for the bigots to no longer gatekeep education for women. It’s been a long crawl away from Home Ec being shoved down our throats.
@therapist’s enjoyment of this show is a testament to what a poor, regressive charicature of a woman Ana Taylor-Jay’s character (and performance) was. So bad an incel enjoyed it.
