how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.

➖ steady — Holds one level all the way. Warm most of the way through. Around the middle it was tender and painful at the same time, which is the state people mean by being moved. Very little of it ever resolves.

what people actually wrote
Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.
“The scene where she goes down to the basement and finds all of Mr. Shaibel's memorabilia was incredible”

“The ending broke me 💔Mr. Shaibel’s photos and newspaper clippings of Beth on the wall 💔Beth never visiting Shaibel before his death and then crying while holding the photo of young Beth and Shaibel together 💔Beth clearly did not deserve Beltik, Benny, the Twins, Townes, Jolene but they helped her selflessly anyway 💔Jolene is such a badass. Her digging Beth out of the hole when she worked so hard for everything she earned was so wholesome 💔Shaibel finally got international press credit when Beth became world champion but he was not around to see it 💔The final scene of Beth playing chess for enjoyment again and not judgement/competition”

5 of 7 with a scoreEvery episode has a page — its synopsis, who was in it, and a place to rate it. A number appears when discussion or ratings support one; where there is neither, the dash is the honest answer.
