"Squid Game," which debuted on Netflix in September, is a South Korean fictional drama following contestants, who are deeply in debt, as they play a series of children's games in an attempt to win money. But, if contestants lose, they're killed off -- and the show doesn't shy away from the gore and violence.
And yet, "Squid Game" has amassed a huge following, with Netflix reporting that 111 million accounts had watched the anti-capitalist drama in within less than a month since its debut, calling the show its "biggest-ever series at launch." Halloween costumes inspired by the show are also topping internet searches, while viral challenges inspired by the show can be found on TikTok.
