After the first episode, I'm interested. Does it get better? Worse?


I watched the first 2 episodes. I'm enjoying so far. 2nd episode is similar to the first, more running not much story development but still pretty good.

She's not objectively classically attractive, but I couldn't take my eyes off of her in TQG. She's captivating.


It’s funny how her hotness for me almost just depends on my mood. I’ll catch her in one thing and she looks like a descendant of ET. The next time she’s one of the most breathtaking women alive

Is this the only thread on this? I just watched the new episode that dropped today. I’ve enjoyed the hell out of it. It’s just an overall fun watch with a really solid cast. Exactly what we’ve come to expect from Apple. I hope they wrap it well next week. Not sure if it has sequel potential, but I certainly wouldn’t mind it

I've enjoyed this, but the plot gets more absurd each episode. Still a fun watch and I like the cast outside of the FBI lead.

I'm bumping this one friends.

I binged all 7 eps.

Anya Taylor-Joy has such a screen presence, it's so good. I always enjoy Tim. It's worth a watch. It's not the most complicated story, but it's good.

SEK, it's only 7 eps - so it's not crazy investment.

I was hesitant to press play, but it's okay. I won't say best, but it's worthy.

Have you seen Queen's Gambit?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think she's a decent actress. I think she nails this one.

The story is okay, but I think acting top notch on this one.

The wife and I are 3 episodes in, and we've enjoyed the show. The gangster lady bothers me more than the female FBI agent, personally. It's more her costuming (sophisticated artsy lady who looks like she lives in Santa Fe) than her acting that rubs me wrong.

I am only on episode 4 so I haven’t read the thread. Has anyone talked about how amazing the FBI lead is as both a character and how they cast? Incredibly believable and somehow she is so good she can predict every move they are gong to make.

I think the inference is she knows the players very well, 20+ years and has never been able to close the deal on them in the past. Her knowing behaviors and patterns isn’t unreasonable. I wouldn’t necessarily attribute this one to some black women Mary Sue FBI agent type trope, but I generally don’t think that way initially unless it’s blatantly obvious. I kind of blew through the show so maybe I overlooked something, but on face value it seems there was an alluded to backstory that makes her seem pretty knowledgeable to this particular group.

If anything, Anya Taylor-Joy has some near Mary Sue “Lucky” moments.
