Stranger Things is Netflix’s Flagship show & Squid Games is the Most View Show on the Platform. With another Smash hit, Has Netflix secured its reign as the biggest Streaming platform for another year?!

Stranger Things is carrying the whole of Netflix. They are safe now but once the season 5 is out they better look for new producers to make more hit shows otherwise they are done although it's possible a random show might blow up out of the blue like Squid Games did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even I was about to cancel Netflix, only have it for Stranger things. There are so many other streaming services now that the competition is starting to dent Netflix finally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almighty Gaga Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Aren't ST episodes more than twice as long? Even if it does, it's not nearly as impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t seen a much about Stranger Things on social media, whereas Squid Game was absolutely everywhere. Even people in real life were discussing it. Didnt the girl from Squid Game gain 20M followers in a matter of weeks too? That’s never happened before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylena Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Squid Games was a global phenomena not often seen nowadays - and global meaning really the whole world including Asia - not the "global" Europe and Anglophonic countries kind that ATRL users seem to think is global. SQ generating all that discussion around the world - and being the most watched Netflix show ever - while it's language is Korean (only spoken by ~55M people) is surely one of the biggest feats achieved by any long-form series and it deserves to keep the crown.

Squid Game's number was actually the first 4 weeks of the show unlike ST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarsAllAligned Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Idk but it should because it’s far better in every aspect. Squid Games, while fun, is highly overrated and your average run of the mill kdrama. It’s not exactly the highest of quality and the performances were not a strong as the gp and critics proclaim them to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the moment of Q4 2021 to the point that even Mr. Beast recreated the game racking up 266M+ views Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domination Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 It will, of course. Volume 2 is going to push it past Squid Game which never had a chance to beat it. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, evaluating streaming numbers have nothing to do with views. It’s all about subscribers. SG was able to become the biggest Netflix show of all time and amass historic numbers because shows like Stranger Things came before it to boost Netflix’s audience. And now ST will surpass it given the increase in subscribers due to SG and organic growth since the pandemic. It’s not rocket science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent W Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Back on topic, I do think Squid Games was bigger, every person I know watched it and talked about it, it was an EVENT Hell even people who don’t have the patience for series watched it. In terms of quality I think ST is a bit better and in terms of success is definitely more concentrated with youth and the anglosphere. Squid Games was more spread on different demographics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Amber Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 SG is miles ahead, even here in Arab world everyone everywhere in RL talking about it. Can't say the same about ST. The Korean show was global cultural event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godly Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) Isn't this kind of a cheat? By the time the 28-days window closes on Volume 2, Volume 1 will have had two months of availability already Squid Game was too big and global a phenomenon, but with the growth of Netflix subscribers in the next few years and the final season hype, maybe ST5 will actually break the record Edited July 6, 2022 by Godly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
