Love the costumes in this show. The way Beth gravitates towards grid patterns kills me.

Personal experience here, but the Time magazine scenes really resonate with me. I joined a drag racing league when I was 8. It was even more male dominated then (like 30 years ago atp). I could go months without competing against another girl. EVERYONE made it about me being a girl. Newspaper articles etc. Casual misogyny. It was never about my track championships, national or international ranking. They made a Disney channel movie about an acquaintance of mine. The movie wasn’t about her accomplishments (Erica has since gone pro) but her gender. This episode really takes me back to those feelings of frustration.

To me, this show has such a unique feeling of elegance and poise. A lot of it it probably the setting of the 60’s with its fashion and decor, but Anya also plays Beth in such a graceful, yet controlled, way. Like the way she moves the chess pieces. Makes me want to clean my apartment and get my shit together 😅

I do love Beth and her mum's relationship as it grows. They both hit hard and realise they might have gone too far, but then they understand each other at the end of the day.
Beth has to learn how to lose to grow at all, adversity breeds resilience and she needs that as she can be over confident and arrogant about it.
It's great how her previous opponents pop up around her, it gives you a sense of how these events work and that is a full blown community too.
