Come for the chess, stay for the styles. We talk about the flawless grace that is Anya Taylor-Joy and marvel at how we were obsessed with a story about chess. Chess. It was unexpected, to say the least. We also pick apart the Drama that is Beth’s life, ogle her gorgeous dresses, speculate if there is going to be a next season, and commend author Walter Tevis for having the common sense that many authors seem to lack with their leading ladies. But, did we mention Beth’s clothes?   Episode Drink: The Gibson   2 ½ oz. London dry gin ½ oz. dry vermouth 1 cocktail onion   Instructions Pack a mixing glass with ice. Add gin and vermouth.
