‘Squid Game’ Is Now The #1 Show In 90 Different Countries
www.forbes.com
Netflix’s focus on global content has paid off in a big way with Squid Game, which has planted itself not just as the #1 show in its home country of Korea and in Netflix’s home country of the United States, but now, the show is #1 in at least 90 different countries around the world.

I did. We all did. Still happy to see it.

Korean cinema has really seemed to break through in the US since Parasite. I will say I am not very exposed to Korean culture outside of what makes it over the Pacific to bleed into US culture. Which in my opinion makes it all the more impressive that two anti-capitalist Korean productions became international sensations after exploding in the US.

Can you all feel it? They tried to make us feel like the energy was gone, but it's still there, and it's not just Squid Game that's showing it.

EDIT - on a show related note, Oh-Il Nam was a total surprise to me, biggest twist I'd say.

    As funny as this description was, the US really showed it's whole ass during the BLM riots nationwide.

    They barely have the capacity to deal with domestic dissent anymore. Without deploying the entire apparatus (which may even worsen the situation), they are without a hope of victory.

        That would kick off something noone has any real control over.

        At that point they are going all in and might very well lose.

      I'm pretty sure they have a lot more stops still left to pull out, but it was pretty funny that they had to mobilize bureau of prisons thumbs and child soldiers to bolster their numbers

      Biden more than doubled the funding for the hiring program. They know.
