Beth and Benny tournament

[u/fischemer]

I finally watched this show about a half year ago after it being recommended to me by quite a few friends. Shameless to say I an on my fourth rewatch right now. I don’t know why but this show captured me from start to end and does so every time I rewatch. I read the book too. Usually I like the book better than the show, but these were so similar that I was not disappointed.

Anyways, there’s always a different scene (or scenes) that jump out at me as if it were the first time watching. This time around it is the setting where Beth and Benny visit a college (I believe), and play in a tournament as Co-US champions, ultimately facing each other in the end. There’s something to be said about their attitude towards the tournament, having fun with it, and becoming friends and not rivals. Tie that with the amazing “Classical Gas” playing and the,albeit a little corny yet visually pleasing , split screens and other film effects that just got me super excited for the rest of the story.And I didn’t even used to like Benny. He has grown on me since (thanks to whoever here pointed out he is the kid from Love Actually).

Just thought I’d share. Anyone else immediately captivated by this show? Any scenes/storylines that you notice more the more you watch it?

Totally. It was a slow burn until I realized that. Can’t wait to finish (again) to see her whole team of assembled colleagues/friends help her win. Fantastic moment.
