The second season of Squid Game, Netflix's dystopian thriller, started streaming last week. It has been continuously dominating the OTT space since then.
The series is the top show in all 93 countries where Netflix is available. It has become the first series to debut at No. 1 in these many countries simultaneously.
Squid Game Season 1 had clocked 265.2 million views, which in other words is 2.2 billion hours viewed. It remains at the top of Netflix's top 10 most popular shows.
Compared to the first season, Squid Game Season 2 has garnered less-than flattering reviews. "While Season 2 still holds a Certified Fresh rating of 84%, it received mixed reviews from fans, with only a 63% approval rating," wrote Comic Book Resources. The second season of the South Korean dystopian survival thriller series stars Lee Jung-jae, Wi Ha-joon, Lee Byung-hun, Im Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Lee Jin-wook, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Jo Yu-ri, Kang Ae-shim, and Lee Seo-hwan.
