The Queen’s Gambit, Addicted Australia look at life through a glass, darkly – Sydney Morning Herald
Addiction is the drug in Netflix’s riveting chess drama and SBS’s gritty observational-documentary series.
“What’ll you do next,” our heroine Beth Harmon asks a teenage boy who declares he wants to be chess champion of the world within three years. “If you’re world champion at 16, what will you do with the rest of your life?”
He doesn’t get what she means, but it’s the central (if unanswered) question at the heart of the riveting drama The Queen’s Gambit: you play the perfect game, you reach the top, you’re still a kid what then?
