Beth Harmon 'Venus' Scene in 'The Queen's Gambit' (VIDEO)

This show is riveting, to say the least. Anya Taylor-Joy plays "Beth Harmon." She's spectacular. I mean just wow! There's all kinds of accolades, at Entertainment Weekly, for example, "The Queen's Gambit plays familiar moves with style and star power: Review."

Also at the Cut, "The Sexiest Show on Television Is About … Chess?"; and at Vogue, "The Story Behind Beth Harmon’s Red Hair in The Queen’s Gambit, According to the Show’s Hair and Makeup Artist"; one more, at the Detroit Free Press, "A leadership lesson from 'The Queen’s Gambit'."

Watch the "'Venus' (Shocking Blue song)" scene, and you'll know what I mean.

Also, the original video segment of Shocking Blue playing their 1969 hit, "Venus."  

'The Queen's Gambit' Turning Out to Be the Most-Watch Series Netflix Has Ever Shown

I'm trying to cut down on the number of shows I'm streaming --- or else I'll have time for nothing else, man. You can get sucked into non-stop streaming pretty fast when you're facing endless Democrat Party lockdowns. 

I'm watching football today, but maybe I'll sample episode one tonight. 

At AoSHQ, "Saturday Afternoon Chess thread 11-28-2020."

And at the Guardian U.K., "'It's electrifying': chess world hails Queen's Gambit-fuelled boom."

Piers Morgan's show at the video. 

And at Marie Claire:

--- When they signed their massive deal with Netflix, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shocked a lot of royal fans who were surprised they would work with the streaming giant, which produces the royal drama The Crown.

--- According to royal biographer Angela Levin, Harry confided in her two years ago that the royal family did indeed watch the series, but that he was determined to make sure it stopped before it got to his adult life and relationship with Meghan Markle.

--- Although Harry and Meghan reportedly used their position as partners with Netflix to insist that The Crown end before it got to their royal drama, Levin fears the strategy might backfire and that Netflix might actually end up "getting a lot of information that will absolutely decry the royal family" from the Sussexes.
