It makes me sad that there's so much focus on image and VFX on Netflix while having a below average story in most cases. There are movies that consist of a person talking on the phone in a room that are more enjoyable than Netflix's feature film of the week like Day Shift.

I actually rather enjoyed Locke, and it's exactly that — one man talking on the phone while driving his car at night for 90 minutes.

The Queen's Gambit however, as visually compelling as it was, couldn't hold my attention. Too many tropes.
