I haven't yet, no. The wife wanted to take a break after Hill House. But we're both excited. I'm hoping we can dive in this weekend.
Im waiting for your review.

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.

Who would have thought chess could be so gripping?

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

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?
