'Squid Game' is taking Netflix by storm with its latest season

The latest season reached 60.1 million views in three days and entered Netflix's all-time top rankings

The latest season of "Squid Game" not only divided critics, but also achieved impressive numbers at its premiere. In just three days, it reached 60.1 million views and entered Netflix's all-time top list.

The South Korean series ranked as the ninth most-watched non-English language production in the platform's history. It surpassed titles such as "Money Heist" and "I Am Georgina," despite having fewer days of measurement.

Why is everyone talking about the ending?

The third season once again starred Lee Jung-jae in his role as Gi-hun. However, this time, the story takes a turn: the goal is no longer to survive but to dismantle the games from within.

The social criticism remains present, although many viewers considered the ending to be confusing or abrupt. Its creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, explained that the ending has multiple interpretations and implications.

A phenomenon that doesn't stop

Regardless of opinions, the numbers are compelling. This latest installment had the best debut for a non-English language series in just three days.

It didn't surpass the 68 million views achieved by season 2 in four days, but it had less time in theaters. That further boosts its performance.

Can it break more records?

Everything indicates that it can. The figures published by Netflix correspond to only the first weekend. If interest remains, it could end up surpassing its predecessor.
