So, Squid Game has managed to grab the attention of the entire world. The Korean survival drama has not just stumped peeps at Netflix including co-CEO and chief content officer Ted Sarandos who recently admitted that, “Squid Game will definitely be our biggest non-English language show in the world, for sure. There’s a very good chance it’s going to be our biggest show ever. We did not see that coming, in terms of its global popularity.” But the twister thriller that was first released on September 17 has since gone on to become the first South Korean series to top the US Netflix chart.
