A few weeks ago, Netflix blessed us with The Queens Gambit, starring Anya Taylor-Joy, Moses Ingram, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, and Harry Potter's annoying-ass cousin (JK, we love you, Harry Melling).
It didn't take long for people to watch the show and become obsessed.
So, here are the best and funniest tweets about everyone's fave new Netflix obsession:
