On Netflix. Just finished watching it.
If you had told me beforehand that I would be captivated by a series set in the world of chess, I'd sneer and laugh in a most most unbecoming manner.
But Holy Checkmate, Batman, was it good!

Re: The Queen's Gambit
We finally got Netflix, so I just finished watching The Queen's Gambit. It was indeed excellent.
The series took some liberties with the book, but I applaud them. Most notably, the filmmakers made the ending into an ending, and a triumphant one at that. As I recall, the book ended on a hope-for-the-future note.
