Yes to all of the above and also he never hit on her when she was still a minor!! It kinda made the other relationships a little harder to watch knowing she was still under 18 when they fell for her but he couldn’t even remember her as a kid.

@@joaniespaulding6667 none of the other guys hit on her when she was a minor either tho, townes was intrigued by her (bc of how good she played chess) but didn't become interested in her in that way until they were in the room doing a photoshoot. same for beltik, he didn't become interested until he stayed at her place and taught her more chess. but it's true, i love how they developed a friendship first before he started liking her, and even then, there was so much tension bc u didn't know if they actually liked each other or not, and the chemistry.... *chefs kiss*
@@ange._yio but wasnt he around the same age as her back then tho....and i thought he implied that he fixed her teeth for her but not bc he fell in love with her during their match. i read it more as "he was following her journey throughout the years and became enamored by her"
@@nandadoesstuff And you're right (even if she's not the only reason why she stopped) ! About Benny helping her with her drinking and addiction, when she was in NYC for five weeks with him she never took one shot of alcohol and she didn't take her pills. So he was truly helping her with that and had a good influence on her.
@@nandadoesstuff yeah I would say Benny is the first person who made her realize she didnt need drugs or alcohol to win and he influenced her to stay away from it all for the first time, once she was away from him and in paris she relapsed and jolene helped her get back on track
@@nolol1118 IKR he was 23 playing a 16 year old (Newt), and by The Death Cure he was 27 playing a 17 year old Newt. Another movie he was in, “The Last Legion,” he was 17 playing a 12 year old. It’s insane, Thomas is incredible in general tho lol
Honestly, I think its the thing that makes the most sense for her character after becoming world champion. The way Jolene says that Benny was also watching over her and that she was never truly alone because of it sounds implied they would get back together once both of them calmed down and specially just how happy she was when he called before her match, you can really tell thats what she wanted to do.
Im embarrassed to admit after I finished the series I tried searching for fanfics of them but unfortunately no one has written anything or any queen's gambit fanfic for that matter :'(
first time that she REALLY shows interested in someone. Even with townes she didn't act if u know what I mean. But for me, when she saw Benny in the university- the CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THEM
Benny's line "do you still like my hair?" is unexpectedly adorable. He's so tsundere and constantly eats his words when it comes to Beth. It really seems like he cares about her (as a person and lover, not just a fellow genius chess player) more than he lets on. At the end, he refuses to financially help Beth and says he doesn't have the money, which doesn't seem like just an excuse because he's holding a grudge. Beth jokes something like "did you gamble it all away?" but that just feels like a snarky joke about him previously losing a lot of money to her in those speed chess games, instead of pointing to him having some kind of gamble addiction. Also, Benny seems way too smart and self-deciplined to have any kind of serious addiction (apart from addiction to chess lol) and throw all his money into gambling. He does appear to live a very frugal life. Maybe he has spent all his savings on some important personal/family issues. He also carries a knife around which is very mysterious. I'm very curious about his background. He might come from a tough neighbourhood or something. He is definitely a pretty self-centred person who doesn't value Beth's goals above his own, especially when they're not even in a serious relationship. And let's be honest, Beth is pretty much a jerk to him. She basically just sleeps with him and leaves...to get drunk and high everyday... which probably breaks his heart, consider that he practically ends up BEGGING her to come back, saying "What if I said: ‘ok, go ahead and get drunk’, would you come then?". He would never compromise like that, if he only wanted a sober Beth to come back so he could teach her chess everyday. He really worries about her wellbeing and wants to stay by her side. So I think his reluctance to sponsor her is pretty understandable. She has betrayed his trust before, so he doesn't know if she will be able to control her addiction in Moscow and not end up bathing in Russian vodka lol I'm just glad that, by the end, he changes quite a bit and is willing to spend some $$$ on expensive international calls. Good for him lol
@@mizanorizam8184 yeah, I really wish it could be either 2 seasons or a longer 24-episodes season. That could still be just as fast-paced but give more details to the main characters and plotlines.
@Miro Reverby Thanks, this totally makes sense. I'm not from the US but also speculated that maybe NYC is just 100 times more expensive to live in than Beth's home state, plus Benny probably doesn't come from a wealthy family. That explains why Beth is able to live comfortably while Benny still struggles financially despite winning loads of prizes.
@Miro Reverby Oh I see. In the series, her stepfather is a very heartless person who refuses to give her the house after Alma's death. She has to buy the house from him with her own money. That's the place where I thought to myself "huh, so she does earn a loooooot from those chess tournaments" and so when I saw Benny living in such a crappy basement (in the series), I got a bit confused as to where has all his savings gone to.
@Miro Reverby Yeah that's actually pretty similar to the series. Beth is very commendable for sticking to her values like that. I'm already googling the book now, definitely gonna read it soon! The series did make me uncontrollably cry a few times, because something about Beth's personality, her struggles, and the various people she meets along the way, just hits way too close to home (although I'm not nearly as smart as her lol). I'm glad that I didn't miss this very inspiring and nostalgic story.
If you read the novel, there are more intimacy between Beth and Benny. I think that Netflix should’ve added the poker part and where Beth said that she missed Benny more than Townes. Beth and Benny became on-off lovers. I highly suggest reading the novel.
@@alextammayo3953 Cool! I suggest that you read it online first before buying it, but if you really like the story why not. If you want to read it for free, you can search it up on google for pdf version. I used this website archive.org/details/queensgambit00tevi/page/n9/mode/1up You can borrow the book for 1hr and return it after the limit then borrow it again. It is free but sometimes it will send you to waiting list because all of their copy is borrowed by someone. If you want where the juicy part, it is around page 168 to 171. That is where Beth is living with Benny in New York. Overall the book and the movie is almost the same. Hope you will have a good time :)
Some lines from the book: For a moment she felt like putting her arms around him and hugging him with her naked body, but she restrained herself. “See you next week,” Benny said. For a moment she wanted to lean in the open window and kiss him, but she restrained herself. She let herself imagine traveling with D. L. Townes, the two of them staying together in Moscow. But that was no good. She missed Benny, not Townes. 🥰💕
How's the book? I was thinking about reading it, but wasn't sure. Beth's thoughts are pretty inscrutinable in the show though, so it would be interesting if the book was very different from the series.
@@jchen8902 It‘s very good but I for once I have to admit I prefer the series because it‘s just outstanding. There are some differences Townes and Beltik hat smaller roles in the book and she clearly prefers Benny to all of them. The final game against Borgov and the ending was not really that satisfying in my opinion just because the series made it incredibly well and the ending leaves it open and clear that she will play Borgov again at the world champion ship so I‘m not sure if they changed that in the series
Even without being romantically involved, their chemistry as rivals and friends was excellent. Benny's one of the few people that could ever match Beth in chess or intellectually. There's this scene that was pretty interesting: Beth asks Benny if he plays out games in his head and can see the pieces on the ceiling, and Benny replies "doesn't everyone?" to which Beth looks surprised, because she knows for a fact that most people aren't capable of that - Benny's the first one she's met who can do so, and without the aid of drugs or alcohol to boot. To some extent, he's actually the reason that she quit the drugs and booze, because she now knew that it was possible to perform even without them, as shown by Benny.
I've been waiting to watch edits like this ever since I finished the show! Their chemistry and tension radiated through me and I wanted to scream in every scene they had together lmao
Benny was truly the one for her. They matched each other’s personalities. Both possess a burning passion for chess, both witty and determined. Benny challenged Beth, and Beth kept benny on his toes. The perfect match
They do have that soulmate energy... Not sure if a season 2 has been confirmed but I like to imagine they do get together someday :) I wasn't super into Beth and Townes lol, Benny seemed like a better match for her imo
nah im okay with it bc they just liked each other, but were never serious. for most of the time,we couldn't even tell how they felt for each other. i like how they are interested in each other but can still remain friends. i like the level of admiration they have for each other while remaining platonic
I love them but she is a world champion moving story any further will just be a drag and will make their relationship the center of the series where as her passion and gift for chess is suppose to be it will ruin it.
I honestly don't think I can move on from these two, their chemistry was off the charts. I had to watch their scenes multiple times because I felt like I couldn't get enough of them. A perfect pair and yet we didn't even get to see them have that passionate kiss we've all been waiting for. I'm really sad.
@@elisabasile7034 maybe bc she thought that Chloe also liked Benny and that she didn’t want her to misunderstand their relationship(how they were living together and etc) and kind of just said that on the spot without thinking is my interpretation. Well idk just my view on it
I think they end up together. Townes became more of a friend and Benny said he missed her and "prefer drinks than staying with me" and they have real chemistry. I really think they end up together! And, unfortunately, it's a mini series, which means a one season only series.
@@CatherineHayward-ow1zw he is gay tho! when he came to her hotel (in russia) he literally said he was sorry he was confused when he was with her at that time on the hotel room (when they almost kissed), and he said "you are really something else you know?" " i should've told you" and then he said what he really wanted was to became her friend, and then she agree in being his friend!
@@NikoCat11 he is definitely gay. the guy who walked into his hotel room is meant to be his lover/bf/partner which is why she becomes so stunned when she realizes. When they see each other in Russia he says the moscow embassy helped him get a visa hoping he'd "distract" her and she says "if they only knew" and then discuss it which is why he says "i shouldve told you the whole story" and why they end up just being friends
I wish they would make a second session and feature them more. I know it’s a show about chess but there relationship was just soooo amazing and I want to see more!!! 🥰😍🥰🥰
Btw guys this is so off topic but Borgov is actually played by a Polish actor. A really good and well known actor here. Proud to see him in the show. And you even included him in the video.
thank you for the info, I didn't know, but I feel you about seeing a well known actor from your country in a big production to be streamed worldwide. I'm Italian and when I saw Luca Marinelli in the old guard I nearly cried!
Beth and Benny, they even look alike...But seriously tho, Beth's daddy issue for Townes shows her lack of a father figure, and Beltik is like a boy next door who shows Beth the option of living an ordinary life. I think all of three lines are quite interesting.
Right? I just want them to live in his flat forever and play chess all day, every day. They can push and help each other so much, their relationship was great to see, not just in a romantic sense.
THEY WERE EVERYTHING I DIDN'T KNOW I NEEDED! ugh, in my mind they were together after she came back from russia! and the ending was perfect, all of them helping her just like he said before she left, that russians worked together, so they came together to help her :') ugh best mini series ever! so glad i binge watched this ♥
Funny. The first time I saw the character, I was like "who does he think he is, this bounty hunter?" but then i have to say, they're perfect for each other. (and i don't just say this because he's an ENTP and she's an INTJ)
OMG I have shipped them so hard like no other couple before not even Lydia and Stiles from Teen wolf. I don't know why but a part of me directly knew they DEFINITELY belong together ❤️🥺
I binged the show on Monday and oh boy, it was a trip. These two now live in my brain rent free and I am not even mad. Your video is awesome, the editing is superb, I love it!
i watched this serie in a day 🤯 it was so gooooood even tho i don't play chess! + i know, the story doesn't focus on her lovelife bUT LIKE I HOPE NETFLIX GAVE US AN ENDING FOR BENNY AND BETH AAAAAA 😭💘
I totally love this series... In case of, I'm from Russia and it's such a pleasure to see scenes where our people (russians\soviet union people) are shown as normal. Not inadequate, but rather smart, kind, good people. In my mind, it's the best US-Rus collaboration in the film industry P.S. "russians" in the film had such a strong American accent😆 But, it must be said, this speech was understandable and I kinda liked it
she and benny were the best beth relationship on the show bc they were on the same level, they had the same level of passion and intellect for chess

@@CatherineHayward-ow1zw he is gay tho! when he came to her hotel (in russia) he literally said he was sorry he was confused when he was with her at that time on the hotel room (when they almost kissed), and he said "you are really something else you know?" " i should've told you" and then he said what he really wanted was to became her friend, and then she agree in being his friend!
@@NikoCat11 he is definitely gay. the guy who walked into his hotel room is meant to be his lover/bf/partner which is why she becomes so stunned when she realizes. When they see each other in Russia he says the moscow embassy helped him get a visa hoping he'd "distract" her and she says "if they only knew" and then discuss it which is why he says "i shouldve told you the whole story" and why they end up just being friends
I think he fell in love with her and he lowkey doesn’t want to admit it, not even to himself. When he said “I miss you” I knew it 😂🥰🥰
I wish they would make a second session and feature them more. I know it’s a show about chess but there relationship was just soooo amazing and I want to see more!!! 🥰😍🥰🥰
his look of pure happiness when she won :'))
I'm kind of in love with Benny.
Me tooo
Ugh the way he pulled her and then said "do you still like me hair" AHHHH I screameddddd I loved their chemistry
Btw guys this is so off topic but Borgov is actually played by a Polish actor. A really good and well known actor here. Proud to see him in the show. And you even included him in the video.
thank you for the info, I didn't know, but I feel you about seeing a well known actor from your country in a big production to be streamed worldwide. I'm Italian and when I saw Luca Marinelli in the old guard I nearly cried!
dang!! the way he said "i miss you"
my friend and i watched the entire thing yesterday, spent 7 hours of our life simply for tbs. in the end, it was a good show, so-
That „Do you still like my hair?“ and „I miss you“ is soooooooo sweet😍
I don't understand why we didn't see a kiss between them 🤔
me too ...
same i was disappointed
I see their chemistry and I like it.
Still can’t ignore the fact that they would be one of the best casted siblings in the cinematic history.
They have similar eye shape it’s mesmerizing to see it during any eye contact scenes and the chemistry is 💯
these two has that TENSION
The way she said she didn’t love him when she was drinking with the one lady. That hurt
WAIT i just realized she's wearing the same shirt when she beat him at speed chess as she did when he beat her at speed chess
I didn't notice that either! Also, it's nice that Beth doesn't have infinite wardrobe, as it happens on some tv shows
@@marysiamilach8460 idk if this was on purpose to give their relationship more significance, but yes it is bc i said so
THE FACT SHE DIDN'T SAY "I miss you too" WHENEVER HE SAID HE MISSED HER OVER THE PHONE HAS UPSETTED ME GREATLY.
Beth and Benny, they even look alike...But seriously tho, Beth's daddy issue for Townes shows her lack of a father figure, and Beltik is like a boy next door who shows Beth the option of living an ordinary life. I think all of three lines are quite interesting.
"The two were born to be together!" I so wish there was one more season
Just imagine the little geniuses they would have as children 😂
That house would be very interesting 😂😜
I screamed in joy when he called in Russia. 💗
I got this in my recommendation without even knowing the show and now I am bingeing it tonight.
Hoping for season 2, they would get married and be the greatest couple in QG
Right? I just want them to live in his flat forever and play chess all day, every day. They can push and help each other so much, their relationship was great to see, not just in a romantic sense.
THEY WERE EVERYTHING I DIDN'T KNOW I NEEDED! ugh, in my mind they were together after she came back from russia! and the ending was perfect, all of them helping her just like he said before she left, that russians worked together, so they came together to help her :') ugh best mini series ever! so glad i binge watched this ♥
let me just pretend they ended up together
I love how we all ship this so much when this was the one pairing that didn't even have a kiss scene
This movie was so good and mind breaking and the actors played their parts so well as well as the chemistry
Honestly if they don’t end up as endgame I don’t know what I’ll do. This was the most superior relationship in the show.
When she brushed back his hair! My heart went 🦋🦋🦋
He has the babiest baby face ever.. even with the mustache
After reading the comments I found out that this is the most interlectual fandom I’ve ever bin in
How happy she was at the end to hear his voice... I like to think they got back together. He keeps her in check ;p
Ladies and Gents, this is what an INTJ-ENTP relationship looks like
I knew it from the first glance, the moment their eyes metttttt 😏❣️
i was so happy to see that Thomas Brodie Sangster finally got a new role after two years also i love anya she is amezing
yes yes that’s what i’m talking about, this relationship was the BEST.
I was freaking mind blown because of their chemistry. I'd love to see them in an another project, so badly.
when benny called on the last episode, I cried.
Best line of the shaw
Benny tells reporter when people think about chess players they think someone who looks like you
Newt what are you doing here . I wasn’t expecting this at all
benny being a good influence was just everything
I WANTED THEM TOGETHER! I WANT MORE OF THEM.
ME TOO
Funny. The first time I saw the character, I was like "who does he think he is, this bounty hunter?"
but then i have to say, they're perfect for each other.
(and i don't just say this because he's an ENTP and she's an INTJ)
I really think they are meant for eachother, they’re on the same level and have the same interests, and genuinely care for eachother.
I literally didn't stop watching all the episodes until I'm done Imao, the superior vibes these two have T~T
OMG I have shipped them so hard like no other couple before not even Lydia and Stiles from Teen wolf. I don't know why but a part of me directly knew they DEFINITELY belong together ❤️🥺
I binged the show on Monday and oh boy, it was a trip. These two now live in my brain rent free and I am not even mad. Your video is awesome, the editing is superb, I love it!
i watched this serie in a day 🤯 it was so gooooood even tho i don't play chess! + i know, the story doesn't focus on her lovelife bUT LIKE I HOPE NETFLIX GAVE US AN ENDING FOR BENNY AND BETH AAAAAA 😭💘
Why do they STARE into each other's eyes like that ughhhh
for reall
Their chemistry is killing me. I hope there will be a season 2🙏🙏🙏
the chemistry was insane
He brought out the best version of her and I really wish they were able to be together at the end, but love it anyway
My Brain: don't say it, don't say it, don't say it
Me: ferb
I really hoped before typing beth and benny that i will find a video like this you are the best 🥰❤️
"do you still love my hair?" BOOOOMMMM!!!
Man I knew in the trailer when I saw Thomas I was gonna love this show
I totally love this series...
In case of, I'm from Russia and it's such a pleasure to see scenes where our people (russians\soviet union people) are shown as normal. Not inadequate, but rather smart, kind, good people.
In my mind, it's the best US-Rus collaboration in the film industry
P.S. "russians" in the film had such a strong American accent😆
But, it must be said, this speech was understandable and I kinda liked it
Just like this couple, this edit is superior.
The ending was literally so amazing when Beth realized all her friends where on the phone and there helping and cheering her on
I loved it ❤️ just Finnish the series and cant wait for season 2, I really hope they are end game !!
There isn’t a season 2
It’s a limited series so there probably won’t be one
I feel like they had the best chemistry for a while and I just loved it lol
I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. AND OMG THIS EDIT IS PERFECT
I CANT BELIEVE ITS A LIMITED SERIES LIKE GURL I NEED MORE!!!
since I saw the trailer I realized that they were a unique and explosive couple.
They really suit each other😍
"I like your hair" "Do you still like my hair?" "I miss you".
My newt! Damn, they’re lookin so good and their chemistry just overflowing
its crazy to see how well she played the evolution of her character with a compilation of scene like that
Melhor casal que deu na série❤️
I truly love them expecially in the end when on the phone there was him and the group to support her. It was powerful
