I remember when I first watched this series I didn't think much about the time period until the mom said only colored women work then i was like mhm there it is.

And yeah as already been said this very same show sparked a lot of interest in Chess. Fun fact the person who wrote the script/Idea for this show/movie shopped it around for 10 years. Trying to get it made if I remember right. And it was super successful even though many people said: Who wants to see a show about a chessplayer?

2022-05-22 20:01:14 +0000 UTCTo answer your question about chess's popularity: it has become more popular in very recent times, partially because of this show and partially because of lockdown. A bunch of high level chess players started streaming chess, popular streamers started getting into it as well so it ended up becoming very popular for a time and it has retained a lot of that popularity still. And chess was more popular during the era this show is set in, but you'll find out about why this was the case.
