Tranquilizers were given to orphans throughout the 1950's to keep them calm as well as making them easier to control. You'll see them pop up through out the show quite a bit. So glad you guys are watching this series, it's amazing!

Benzodiazepines, Judy Garland was also addicted to these. They were given to her by MGM Studios as a means to help get to sleep and then given uppers in the morning.

For people who don’t know what benzodiazepines are, some examples are Xanax, Valium, Ativan, etc. The pills in the show are fake but they were supposed to be Librium like they are in the book
The crazy thing is that people like this actually exist. Magnus Carlsen, the best chess player in the world did the same exact thing (play multiple people at the same time) except with more people. He also played blind and so on. The way these people's minds work is absolutely insane.

@@tink6225 no i didn't mean to bring the show down or hate. the show is so good at making it look cool while making it being very realistic at the same time. i'm just trying to show that people irl can actually do this because for beginners it may look impossible and unrealistic. it's a testament to how humans can reach these levels of intelligence and that's just cool to see

I truly don’t understand how playing chess blind works? How is it even remotely possible?
@cameronjosephvideos5942

@@TheSofkujepanen It's pretty simple in theory. People call out what squares things are being moved to and all you have to do is remember what piece is on what square at any given time. Now you just need to be really good at visualizing and remembering all that information. Most people get tripped up by those parts. Kind of envious to be honest, I can't even think ahead more than three or four moves playing chess.
it’s refreshing seeing rob actually not know the plot lmao

The sheer shock on y'all's faces when she took a mouthful of the pills, LMFAOOO
“What?! I’m an ORPHAN! I play in a BASEMENT!” Had me howling. Lmao 😂
This is such a good show well deserved Emmy nominations for this show and a lead actress nom for anya Taylor joy she’s an amazing actress I predict Oscar’s in her future she was great in the Northman also can’t wait to see all your reactions as the show unfolds

I agree, she was very good in this and "The Menu." With the new rules of the academy, she probably won't ever get an oscar. 😕
They used to tranquilize kids in orphanages to make them easier to control. Also doctors heavily prescribed tranquilizers to women for basically any reason….including on request of husbands or being seen as too outspoken.

Yep, just commented about it. It's more than just orphanages, it went deeper into a whole "give drugs to women so they stop complaining about things" thing.

as seen in BeWitched. Their neighbours, the wife being "off her meds" bc of the things that she sees Samantha doing, is a running joke. She's really infantilized.

In 1962 my mom was prescribed tranquilizers while she was PREGNANT with my older sister! Mom told me my sister slept 24/7 until she was 3 months old. She literally had to wake her up to feed her. She even slept through her baths.
So happy you guys are watching this! This show is really well done, and a work of art. Can’t wait for more!

the staging, the costume, the music, the acting! *chefskiss*
Ah i love the queens gambit, its such an original story. kinda refreshing with all that superhero overload these days scary fact: they actually did give the kids in orphanages pills to keep them calm, so a lot of them got addicted early on. they ofc got banned at some point. Beth has a genius, mathematical mind so we see how she (and probably other pro chess players) goes through every possible move in imagination to decide what to play next

The superhero sickness lol. Sad part is im a marvel fan and I cant deny the superhero overload they are stuffing everyone with.
this show made me love Anya Taylor Joy even more as an actor
This show is AMAZING. I've only watched one other channel do this series and I was obsessed. So happy you guys are giving it a chance!
SO happy y'all decided to watch this series. Since it came out on Netflix I've seen it easily 20 times, it's o e of my favourites to recommend to others! As for the tranquilizers in the orphanage - it was extremely common practice for childrens homes in the 40s/50s to medicate the children with tranqs to make them "easier to handle". As it happens in the show, it was banned in the mid-50s. They might have still had them for children over a certain age like Jolene. Enjoy the rest of the series, it only gets better!
This shows about Chess, addiction, loneliness, found family, skill and soul desire it is so good I've watched it like 3x lol
Tranquilizers were unfortunately very common in the ‘50s in not only orphanages but also psych wards and housewives. It was a way to keep those above them in control; those ahead of them, truly believed they were saving them from themselves. I got my husband hooked to this show and we love Beth. The actress who plays the younger version of both Beth and Jolene did an excellent job!
Somthing I liked in this show was the fact the girl lived without a scratch from the car crash miraculously its almost like this show is set in an alternate timeline where she survived
Check is when the king is in danger of being captured, but the player has a way to escape/defend. Checkmate is the end of the game because the king is in a position to be captured and there's no way to avoid it. Some chess players will concede a match long before a checkmate actually happens because they know they don't have a way to win.
So excited you're watching this. Such a good show!
Thanks, Zuff! Thanks, Rob! Thanks, Bryce! ♟ Moses Ingram who played 'Jolene' is a joy to watch perform. She also portrayed 'Reva' in OBI-WAN KENOBI (2022). #ReelTime #ScottFrank #TheQueensGambit
Omg. This is my favorite show and nobody ever talks about it. The first episode scared me too - lol! I was scared it was gonna be a horror show, but it’s not at all! It’s so good! So excited for y’all to keep watching!
When I first saw this episode, I thought Beth was going to break in and grab a few handfuls of tranquilizers and shove them in her pockets, to hide in her room. I was NOT expecting her to immediately shove fistfuls of them down her throat. I was like, "Holy shit!" That was so insane.
It's a stunningly lowkey uncomfortable show. It so beautifully weaves heavy hitting subject matter with this separate gifted status storyline. I love it so much
Fun to rewatch this show through your reaction!
Excellent reaction! You probably already know this, but this show prompted hundreds (maybe thousands) of people to start learning chess. :)
Yesss, this show is great! So excited to follow as you watch.
YES! this is such a good series hope you guys enjoy it. 🔥🙌🏻
Really happy and surprised that you guys decided to react to this!!! I left a comment in one of your other videos suggesting the show, but I wasn't sure if it'd get picked. Glad it won the poll on Patreon. 😁👏🏾
The set designs on this show are so stunning too, it’s overall such a masterpiece and takes the best parts from the book
A toothbrush holder would be a terrible place to store pills! Spit and water left on the brush will leak down the handle and melt those pills! 🙂

As somebody who doesn't know anything about chess beside the pieces name and how they move, it's actually very mind-blowing watching this series! I am now hooked in learning chess.

To resign isn't just sportsmanship. It means acknowledging how good your opponent played

Yes!! I'm glad someone reacted to this series I haven't seen anyone do a reaction to this show

As great as Anna Taylor Joy is in the role, I think the actress who played her as a young girl was equally amazing.
Im so glad u guys started this series, it’s sooo good
I LOVED this show! I’m so excited for you to watch it all.

Your content is on fire lately! ♡
This Show was so Good!! I watched all the episodes in 1 sitting I couldn’t get enough!
This show just gets better and better with each episode! You’ll be hooked! No pun intended- well, sort of.
This show is definitely worth it, it’s so good. I watched it in one sitting cuz I got so addicted
perfect timing! i finished the queens gambit with my parents a long time ago and i’m currently reading the book. excited to see what you think :)
Literally rewatching this reaction 😁
Ayeeee y'all are reacting to this! I love this one
one of my fav show, glad yall are watching it!
I played with my mother since I was little, I never beat her once before she passed.
When this series first came out, I felt like watching it because my uncle always liked chess, but his sons never wanted to play, so once I watched the series in quarantine, I actually taught myself to play a bit so my uncle and I could eventually play and I was tired of seeing him look like the old man from the Pixar short, Geri's Game lmao. Chess is definitely a game not everyone goes to first, but it truly is great for some people with ADHD (like it runs in my family) because we (at least, my uncle and I) can put our focus into a fun game of strategy, even if it's just to forget things for at least an hour. I'm THRILLED to see you guys reacting to this series because it's for sure a personal favorite, something I could find myself going back to to even play in the background. Can't wait to see the rest of this series with you guys, always keep up the great content!
I loved the queens gambit! Can’t wait for your reactions
I can’t wait to see the rest!
i think the scenes with the chess board on the ceiling was more so symbolic of her photographic memory, but that's just how i perceived it! i know this comment is late hahah love your videos:)
i clicked on this so fast! looking forward to you guys watching the rest of the show. i have the biggest crush on anya taylor joy, ever since i saw her in the vvitch! she’s so talented and great in everything she’s been in. highly recommend watching the vvitch and last night in soho for a horror night.
this show goes hard af binged it in one day
can't wait for the full reaction, this show is too good
Amazing show! Tanks ❤️
please keep watching, i loved this!!!
This episode reminds me of a movie "The day will come". If you haven't watched it then watch it. It's pretty intense, sums up living condition of orphans in war time.
This show is SO GOOD!!!! It only gets better too
Ready for the next episode!
Ahhh my fav show yay I’m so happy y’all are watching
So excited for this show! Can't believe you guys haven't watched it
Let’s go! This is unexpected but great!
"Check" means your king is in peril and you must move it out of eminent danger. "Check Mate" is when you've move your pieces in a way that your opponents king can't move any place without capture.
Love the show, love the game. Even though I’m not particularly good at it 🤣. Love how accurately it portrays chess. A lot of the top players in the world can imagine the board and pieces moving in their minds. Some can even play chess blindfolded. Great reaction 👌
great show aaah can't wait to watch all ur reactions
You should check out the try guy video where all 4 of them play a chess master at the same time, while he is blindfolded! It’s so cool to see a master’s ability in action; no matter the area of expertise.
Y’all are on trending again!
