Place 1: Squid Game – Season 1
- Release Year: 2021
- Episodes: 9
- Views: 265.2 million
The start of the series was a big surprise in 2021. The South Korean production quickly found a large audience, even in the West. The reason is probably the unusual premise that tells how numerous people from precarious circumstances participate in a deadly game. A high prize money awaits, but one must risk their life to get it.
The mix of social criticism and very hard scenes, but also heart, managed to convince both critics (95%) and the audience (84%) on Rotten Tomatoes. Thus, the first season of Squid Game is one of the best on this list and is also by far the most viewed.
