Count me in for the Queen's Gambit. Do actual chess players move that quickly?

Queens Gambit was pretty great. It surprised me how good it was

My wife & I are through 5 episodes so far, probably finish tonight. When she said she was starting it I planned on doing something else, but decided to give it a minute, and oh boy. I was hooked right away. Great show.

Queen's Gambit is great. I started reading the book, and the adaption of it left out quite a bit if anyone is interested in reading as well. Specifically, the relationship between Beth and Jolene.

I watched the first three episodes of Queen's Gambit last night. Very very good. Most engaging TV I've seen in a while

Re: So I finally got Netflix...
Yes. I watched another three episodes tonight, which means I only have one episode left. I am not happy about only having one episode left. Is it possible that this is the best thing Netflix has done to date?
