Kermode & Mayo’s Take

SHRINK THE BOX: The Queen's Gambit -  Beth Harmon

The often enigmatic chess genius that is Beth Harmon - is the Queen of this week’s episode.

Ben and Sasha explore why Beth feels so compelled to clean up after parties - and how her controlled prowess at the chessboard, becomes utter chaos away from it.
