Netflix subscription continues to surge

Here’s how popular Squid Games has turned out to be. In a pre-recorded call to shareholders to announce its third-quarter results, Netflix has offered a glimpse of the show’s success — around 142 million households worldwide have watched the Korean-language show about debt-ridden individuals playing a deadly game for a cash prize worth tens of millions of dollars.

Here a viewer is someone who has watched two minutes of the show. So, you had put Squid Game on for a few minutes to check out the hype, right? You are in the pool of viewers. In fact, that’s around two-thirds of the company’s 213 million global customers.
