Squid Game — the global hit thriller series from South Korean filmmaker Hwang Dong-hyuk — is now Netflix’s biggest original series of all time, the streaming service has announced. More than 142 million Netflix households watched Squid Game in the first 28 days after its release on September 17. With that, Squid Game has beaten Regency-era London romantic drama series Bridgerton’s record of 82 million viewers back in January — and in process, become the first Netflix series to surpass the 100-million mark in the first four weeks. Netflix counts watching two minutes of any episode as a view. Netflix has frequently come under criticism for its very-relaxed methodology, especially with its original series that can run into several hours.
