Wifey and I plan to start watching it tonight, but I went ahead and voted YES just to iso @LosPollosHermanos.
I’ve been in a funk since I finished it. I should probably watch it again. For however many hours it was on, I never once thought about how crappy 2020 is.
I got too drunk today and made too many jokes about letting the actress from this show poop on me and now my wife is mad at me
Aside from being an attractive female, how was she any different from a real world chess grandmaster. She wasnt particularly adept at anything else, and her social skills were crap. Simply being pretty doesn't make a character a mary sue.
It was ok. I liked it. It was not extraordinary though It kept me watching but I did not feel she was ever truly at hazard/in danger/risk of failure Rocket River
@Commodore can be summed up easily on this site. Post useless tweets, Take a neo-conservative talking point, never back up his claims, be anti color, anti LGBT, anti-covid and anti any popular tv show to show that he’s a contrarian. For the latter he’ll usually take a stupid point like “she’s x” to show that he’s edgy
Yeah, Im trying to figure out why everyone has jumped on this show. It's good, but to break viewership records should be a surprise to everyone at NetFlix.
this was the Rocky 4 of chess Except Apollo Creed doesn’t get killed https://thehill.com/changing-americ...lixs-record-breaking-the-queens-gambit-boosts Sales of chess sets rose by 87 percent in the United States while sales of chess books jumped by 603 percent, according to U.S. Retail Tracking Service data from NPD, which showed that week-over-week sales had been relatively flat for 13 weeks before the show debuted. Google searches for "chess" and "how to play chess" hit a nine-year peak, according to Netflix, and the number of new players on Chess.com quintupled. The show had already set streaming records on Netflix, where 62 million households watched the show in the first 28 days after its release in October, putting it in the Top 10 in 92 countries, Netflix reported, and No. 1 in 63.
