Just finished Queen's Gambit and loved it! Who would have thought a show about chess would be so great? And for you sports-freaks....it does have all the elements of a great sports movie. A gifted youth who is trained in a basement, an outsider struggling to fit in with the boys, obsessive-compulsive behavior for excellence, unrelenting study, practice, and desire to be the best, eventually fights her way to the top. It was so good I binge watched all 7 episodes straight through. Unfortunately, the producers said there will not be a second series.
I'd say this was probably my favorite Netflix show so far.
