I swore I'd never watch a show about a chess prodigy

My friend in Chicago kept telling me to watch 'The Queen's Gambit' for months, but I thought it sounded boring. I finally gave in last week and ended up watching all seven episodes in one sitting. Has anyone else been totally wrong about a show they thought they'd hate?

Seriously, I read an article about how that show made chess cool again. I thought it would just be a bunch of quiet people staring at a board, but the story hooked me right away. What was the last show that surprised you?

The Bear's first season had me yelling at my screen over sandwich orders lol.

Found it boring and overhyped honestly.
