Some more reviews on social media for series included, “I’m really looking forward to the series on Netflix, although it does bother me a bit that nowhere in the trailer does it mention it’s based on a book. Hope this doesn’t mean it’s changed beyond all recognition – it’s a blooming fantastic book.”
Another’s post read, “I want all of beth’s dresses in TQG.” One other review about the mini-series was, “I really should be asleep, but The Queen’s Gambit on Netflix is so good!” A third wrote, “TQG on Netflix is SO GOOD. Obsessed. And upset there were only 7 episodes.”

Reviewing the show, another Twitter user wrote, “Enjoying the series but I wish it could be more like a sports anime and focus more intently on the game itself… chess is fun…feed the nerds.” Another tweeted, “Chess runs through my life like a vein of gold. So many blessings can be traced back to chess and to this one book, ‘TQG’. I cannot express how fucking stoked I am that they adapted it for Netflix. It’s like it was made for me. “
Enjoying “Queen’s Gambit” but I wish it could be more like a sports anime and focus more intently on the game itself…chess is fun…feed the nerds

The Queen’s Gambit is a lesson is how NOT to portray Black characters. DO NOT GREENLIGHT FILMS WHERE THE ONLY BLACK CHARACTER SERVES TO EMPOWER THE WHITE LEAD!! 👏🏽 pic.twitter.com/J8oK5ghJpa

The Queen’s Gambit is really great. Absolutely worth every second. It just feels like a throwback (in a good way) but I’m not quite sure what to. #TheQueensGambit #Netflix
