Hulu has acquired the Canadian crime drama Endgame, which it has begun streaming today. The first two episodes — "Opening Moves" and "Turkish Hold Em" — are currently available to watch; we've embedded "Opening Moves" below … but suspect it won't be available to watch for free for very long.
Endgame stars Shawn Doyle as brilliant chess master Arkady Balagan. Traumatized by the murder of his fiancée, Balagan has become a prisoner in his luxury Vancouver hotel, terrified to step outside. To pay his bill, Balagan starts solving mysteries — using an unlikely band of hotel employees and chess fanatics to do his legwork. He imagines events, interviews the living and the dead, and runs conflicting scenarios — all in his head, solving crimes that baffle the police.
Endgame premiered in March 2011 on Showcase in Canada, running 13 episodes. It has not been renewed for a second season … yet.
