‘Squid Game’ Season 2 Just Broke A Huge Netflix Record
In a shocking turn of events, ‘Squid Game’ season 2 has just broken a massive record on the popular streaming platform Netflix. According to recent reports, this latest installment in the South Korean phenomenon’s saga debuted at #1 in all 93 countries where Netflix is available. This unprecedented feat solidifies the show’s position as one of the most globally dominant television programs currently airing.
What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that it surpasses the already impressive record set by other popular shows such as ‘Stranger Things’ and ‘Wednesday’, which, despite their immense popularity, could not match the sheer global appeal of ‘Squid Game’. It’s worth noting that previous seasons of ‘Squid Game’ did not achieve this feat, with season one requiring some time to go viral before reaching its peak viewership.
While it is difficult to predict whether or not season 2 will be able to surpass the staggering 2.2 billion hours viewed by season 1, these early numbers provide a strong foundation for future success. The show’s writers and creators must have done something right in order to achieve such an impressive feat.
However, there are some concerns about the new season that may affect its long-term performance. Specifically, it has been noted that this latest installment feels more like a setup for what is to come rather than a standalone story. This abrupt conclusion leaves viewers with unanswered questions and, potentially, a sense of dissatisfaction.
Another potential issue lies in the fact that the second season is shorter than the first, consisting of only 7 episodes as opposed to 9 in the previous installment. While this may not necessarily affect the show’s overall popularity, it could impact its ability to retain viewers who are accustomed to longer seasons with more conclusive storylines.
Despite these concerns, ‘Squid Game’ season 2 has certainly made a strong case for itself, and only time will tell if it can maintain this momentum in the long run.
