“Spectacular visual storytelling. Anya Taylor-Joy is a chameleon and one of the best of her generation. It's just fine if you don't know about chess, as this game simply provides the backdrop to the human drama that unfolds.

HBO's scored here 7 times since 2010, and winners here tend to be late-premiering. 3. Had a strong run during guild season (PGA and SAG are telling), and critical acclaim to boot. Plus, it helps that it was, arguably, the show that took down the HFPA (it's snub there started the landslide); notoriety like that helps, big time (HBO backing doesn't hurt, either). 4"
