Just finished The Queen's Gambit on Netflix

This is on my list after we finish Watchmen.

Have you seen Normal People on Hulu yet?

I'd put that up against almost anything I've seen this year.

I liked it so much I bought the book.

I did too. It's in my queue ready to go when i get to it.

We really enjoyed this a lot.

So much so I think we will watch his other series, Godless, soon.

Godless is a great series. Netflix really screwed that one up for publicity. It should have been as big as Queen’s Gambit in terms of public awareness

Great series. Its one of my favorites.

Ive never played a game of chess in my life, and i enjoyed it

Just finished it. Damn that was good.

Obviously the show was fictional but you had some hope that it had a tinge of Rudy, real person exaggerated.

Then you learn there's a reason they have the category of WGM (Woman Grandmaster) because just like tennis and basketball they can't come close to the men.

The show is great (mostly for its style) but its just really a coming of age novel of a fictional character that would never happen. As some chess afficiandos have called it the Forrest Gump of chess movies/novels.
