In Australia, Netflix’s smash hit Korean drama Squid Game has topped both of the charts. New Zealanders aren’t quite as keen on the show, with Squid Game coming in fourth on the Digital Original chart and not cracking the top 10 overall.
In the series 456 desperate contestants compete with each other in a mysterious and deadly survival game involving multiple rounds of childhood games to win 45.6 billion Korean won in prize money that can pull them out of their misery.
Netflix head of content and co-CEO Ted Sarandos has revealed that Squid Game is the streaming platform’s #1 show globally. He also noted that at the current rate it should eventually become the most-watched Netflix series of all time.
This week Squid Game scored 29.33 points above market average in Australia and 11.49 points above average in New Zealand.
