I kept waiting for it to go homosexual promoting as ‘Hang And Catch Fire’ did.

Well, it did. When she had her allnight bender and went to the match with Borgov all hungover, she left her french lady friend in their bed. Not overt, but pretty obvious. IMHO.
It was a very intriguing and enjoyable series.
My favorite funny part was when she and Benny were in the afterglow of sex, and she says, (PARAPHRASING) “So THAT’S what it’s supposed to feel like!” And he basically says, “Yeah, right. Now about your upcoming match with so and so, you should play such and such....” and she gets all pissy, saying “That’s what you’re thinking about after what we just experienced?” And he basically says, “Well, yeah.” SOOOOO very true on male-female approaches to sex and intimacy. Again, IMHO.
I tried a couple episodes of “Halt” and found it utterly boring. And I’m a big computer person (used to program in Fortran) and a past small-time (local Boys’ Club) chess champ at age 10, for reference.
