The Queen’s Gambit, that show about an orphan chess prodigy who loves poppin’ pills and drinkin’ booze in the swinging sixties, is Netflix’s most-watched limited series ever. In its first 28 days, it has been watched in 62 million households. It stars Anna Taylor-Joy, who you also may recognize (sans floofy red wig) from her starring roles in Emma, Split, and The Witch. Peter Friedlander, VP of Netflix Original Series, detailed the show’s success in a blog post.
