Good god. That finale is genuinely a masterpiece. The scene of her walking through the people playing chess then shaking all of their hands. And then she sits down to play with a random guy, oh my god. Probably my favorite show oat, it would be so cool in movie format as well. And I feel like this show isn’t just about chess, I find myself barely ever thinking about the chess aspects and more the character development because it’s so fucking strong. Also shoutout Benny my goat, what a guy. 100/100 - masterpiece. Can’t glaze Anya enough she’s such a good actor.
