Endgame
Created by Avrum Jacobson
On Showcase
A cerebral crime drama built around a grief-stricken chess master solving cases from his hotel room, balancing procedural mystery with the interior weight of unresolved trauma.
The death of his fiancee has left chess master Arkady Balagan agoraphobic and unwilling to step outside of his hotel. This debilitation, however, doesn't stop him from solving difficult crimes.
