dubbel zout November 4, 2020 Share November 4, 2020 A chess master's opinions on how the series handled the matches. For the most part he's complimentary; the only ding is the talking Beth and the young Soviet player did during their match. Except to concede or ask for a draw, talking is considered bad form as well as not allowed. He nitpicked a bit about how short the games were but acknowledged the dramatic license needed. The parallels he draws between Beth and Bobby Fischer are fascinating. The article is worth a read if you have a subscription to the NY Times or a few free articles left. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/112539-the-queens-gambit-in-the-media/#findComment-6433992

I think Netflix claims whatever it wants to help push its shows, going back (to when I started giving them side-eye, no telling how much longer) to Birdbox. Netflix has a nice self-fulfilling prophecy - they claim EVERYONE is watching show X, and then we all watch show X. I don't care; I've normally enjoyed the shows its pushed on me. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/112539-the-queens-gambit-in-the-media/#findComment-6478748

dubbel zout December 1, 2020 Share December 1, 2020 Netflix doesn't release metrics, but I think they aren't afraid to say what the biggest show is at the moment, though of course there's some promotional reason behind it. "The Crown" is in season 4 and has a built-in audience, so it doesn't surprise me that it's the largest streaming show right now.
