Netflix’s docudramas have landed the company in court on numerous occasions now. The company settled a defamation suit by a Georgian chess master who claimed a reference to her in an episode of Queen’s Gambit was sexist and belittling. That suit was also brought by Rufus-Isaacs and is still pending. No Limits was released on September 9 by Netflix and held the No. 1 spot in Netflix’s weekly list of top 10 non-English films for the first two weeks, according to the complaint.
