THE QUEEN´S GAMBIT COATS
Queen's Gambt is not only the best series of the year, it is possibly the best feminist series that has ever been made. From the photography, where there is no scene with more than six colors, the exquisite stylist of the wardrobe, the silences and the planes. It is a story told with many images and few words through feelings. It is written for those who get caught up in its charm.
The protagonist is a strong and weak woman at the same time. Full of strength and full of fear, she is a great chess player but she is also a normal girl who likes fashion. Please, I want those coats, I want to buy them and wear them myself. Just to see those coats is worth watching the series. Although they are the least. I have not seen any television series where they talk so much and so well about the feelings of the character using the styling.
Beth, is a feminist woman, you know how she thinks without her telling you, and she acts in the best way a feminist can. She does the same as men, and does not speak. She acts.
The series is an attack on addictions and difficult circumstances that people can have in their life. Drugs and alcohol suck.
Not a single explicit feminist discourse appears in the entire series and most of the male characters are as trapped in heteropatriarchy as the female ones. Things are told with images, with looks and with wonderful silences.
With a final chapter that makes you cry when all the men who have faced her come together to help her, wishing her to win and spending the night awake to help her.
The series talks about chess, but you don't have to know how to play to understand it. You have to see it. You cannot live without seeing it.
