It was great episode. Back to the roots. I was thinking whole time why Harmon is not taking care of her friend that was left in orphan.

Filler

Mostly filler and time-wasting. Least interesting episode so far.

Give Anya Taylor-joy her Golden Globe!!

This episode was beautiful. The set pieces, the outfits, the cinematography, THE ACTING!! This episode sums up what makes this series just as amazing as it is, the captivating montages, the engaging dialogue and absolutely mesmerizing set pieces. This episode had it all, we saw the rise and fall of Beth as she slowly succumbs to the same fate as her mother as she battles with her addictions, we saw heartbreak and anger, absolutely outstanding!

Very weak ep.

Just let's feeling the episode by ugly music and dancing and unnecessary stuff.

A brilliant mini-series

Anya Taylor-Joy is perfectly cast as chess prodigy Elizabeth Harmon in this gripping, emotional and cerebral mini-series. Lovers of chess and those with no idea of the game alike will love this Cold War drama. The characters are engrossing and Taylor-Joy excels in the lead role. She has grown as an actress immensely since she played the title of 2016's Morgan. The period is convincingly recreated including 1960's Las Vegas. A real treat!

Trivia
This episode features the main character playing simultaneous games of blitz chess against three opponents in a basement apartment. As the last game of that scene concludes, the camera lingers over the final position revealing it to be the very famous game Paul Morphy vs. Duke Karl / Count Isouard (1858). That game features numerous piece sacrifices by Morphy to achieve a superior position, with a final Rook+Bishop combination to deliver checkmate.
