Squid Game

It has become one of the most popular streaming series of 2021 across the globe and for good reason. Squid Game takes place in South Korea where those who are in great debt are given the chance to play a series of games to win billions. If they fail, however, the punishment is death and there are plenty of ways for the contestants to cheat. With great tension and strong commentary on class divide and capitalism, Squid Game is the big breakout hit of South Korea that has captivated Netflix audiences internationally. The show garnered multiple awards nominations and is well on its way to a second season.
