Traditionally, Netflix ranks the popularity of its originals by counting how many people watch a title for at least two minutes in the first 28 days of release. Squid Game is currently ranking as the number one show on the platform in several countries, according to data shared by Netflix.

The South Korean drama follows a group of people who are invited to risk their lives in a survival game with a huge prize at the end.
