Absolute gem of a series – great example of game-based suspense without resorting to bullshit Casino Royale-esque rules-exposition-for-dummies. Great role for Anya Taylor-Joy that has you wondering “why haven’t we seen HER in anything before?!”, and a beautifully shot/visualised setting of 50s/60s suburban America. One of the TV highlights of 2020.
