The idea behind this series is there interesting and somehow unique.
Endgame follows a fictional former World Chess Champion Arkady Balagan (Shawn Doyle), a genius who uses his analytical skills to solve crimes. An interesting addition to that original idea is that after the violent death of his fiancιe, Balagan has developed ...agoraphobia, and he cannot leave the luxury hotel that he was staying! So it's up to a few confident helpers to gather the clues from crime scenes and help him solve the mysteries! Shawn Doyle is exceptional as the eccentric Russian chess champion and the series tried some unique visual approaches (like on a chessboard) to show top the audience what is happening in Balagan's superior brain.
Unfortunately Endgame is now canceled. There is only 1 season that includes 13 episodes. Fans made some petitions for a comeback but in vain.
Overall: An "a la Sherlock" crime drama faaaaaar better than other mediocre or less series like the overpraised "The mentalist" that I recommend to check out.
