First of all, unless you plan on staying up all hours until the next morning, do not start watching this late at night because it may be difficult not to binge it.

I did not have any expectations for this series, however, after the first episode, it peaked my curiosity and interest enough for a second episode which ended up being heart-pounding and intense enough to binge it.
Great acting and performances by everyone, especially the lead actress Anya. Great cinematography, great story, and great background musical score.

Netflix delivers another home run series and hopefully their next series “Yahtzee”🎲, will be on the same quality level as TQG.

My Rating: 9/10 ♕

I binged it all in 2 nights. The era was captured so well, and should win an award for the settings, outfits etc... Another series that did this well was The Deuce on HBO with James Franco. They depicted the gritty early 70s in NYC perfectly.
