“There were good shows, but they were never quite as good as films. Now, however, it’s the opposite. These new streaming shows are like watching a great movie that goes on for 7 or more hours. Movies can still be great, but even great ones seem limited by the time constraints of a single film that has to wrap up in a few hours”

The show has received a lot of praise ever since its Netflix release, and Rogan is one of the many people who have found the show extremely interesting. 

In a recent post, Rogan took to Instagram to laud novelist Walter Tevis who has written books such as ‘The Hustler’ and ‘The Queen’s Gambit’ among others. 

The caption for the post read, “This makes sense. The Hustler is one of my all time favorite movies, and the book is great too. “The Queen’s Gambit” is my new favorite show and I just found out that Walter Tevis wrote the original story for that as well.”
