We finished Queen's Gambit last night and it has the hammy-house seal of approval. Agree with gh that it started better than it finished. SFGate's Culture Editor a big fan:
Netflix's most popular show 'The Queen's Gambit' is the best sports show of all-time
It’s a classic underdog sports story: Unlikely prodigy battles demons to become the best in the world. But we are not talking about high-octane sports like football or basketball or knife throwing (someone should really make a knife throwing show). This is chess, the least glamorous sport one could possibly imagine. Which is why it’s so shocking that “Queen’s Gambit” is the most exciting sports show since “Friday Night Lights” and perhaps the only show focusing on athletics that’s worthy of the title prestige TV.
