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.

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
