discussion “Stranger Things” Fails To Beat “Squid Game”, Netflix’s Most Popular Show Ever

[Almighty Gaga]

Poor thing. 2 seasons combined and 15 hours per episode and still couldn't do it.

[cruelcooper]

The better show 

 

ST has been a cringey, poorly written disaster since season 1.

I stopped after watching season one now I feel like I’m too far behind to catch up so I’ll stick with squid games.

Same lol

[Robburro]

I blame Mike

[hector.adriel]

It’s still doing 55M+ hours weekly, it’s just a matter of time. 
 

But Squid Games hold is insanely impressive

[DUA LIPA]

Squid Game feels like something that came and went quickly, we‘ll see if it can hold onto its hyped S1 or if it‘s a star that crashed and burned very quickly.

Squid Game is so boring though

It’s okay, the 5th season will do it

If ST4 couldn't do it, then I don't think anything will, at least not for a while. I feel like Stranger Things is about to enter that overexposed stage too where everyone starts turning on it and calling it overrated, so I doubt ST5 will do it either.

The real takeaway here is manifest s1-3 still being top 10. Season 4 is coming for blood 

ST is at 1.4B 

SG is at 1.7B
 

At this rate it’s gonna take ST4 a mere few weeks to pass SG. It’s still doing 50M+ hours weekly (58M last week) with slight drops after 2 months out so most likely by October Stranger Things 4 will be Netflix’s biggest show of all time.

Pls, it is far from boring but DARK is not for everyone. Not everyone can understand the concept. 

Exactly, Dark is like Radiohead, Bjork, Sufjan Stevens, if you only listen to dua or camilla, Dark is not for you.

 DARK is the best show on NETFLIX. 

This! The show might be a little confusing but when you get it, it will blow your mind. Definitely deserved ST and SG success

 

OT : started watching ST 2 weeks ago and I’m on S4 now, its pretty good but not on DARK level

3rd season of DARK was beyond incredible. No adjectives left to describe that show. 

[The Countess]

We'll see if Squid Game can keep up this traction but I highly doubt it. Stranger Things will ALWAYS be the bigger show overall and a bigger pop culture phenomenon.

[Squall]

Both overrated but at least, SG was entertaining to watch

SG will not serve the same longevity though 

I think so too. It was basically made as a limited series, I wonder how they will be able to strech it for multiple seasons. The story is not really made for that.

ST4 is lot gorier and darker, so kids wouldn't be able to watch it unlike ST1-ST3 (which were also gory but not as much as S4, they were also more fun and campy)

But ST5 could beat SG just on pure hype alone, an Endgame tea

 

Squid Game S1 was just a legit cultural phenomenon and had a novelty factor, I doubt its S2 will be able to match it

The way I’ve tried three times but couldn’t make it over episode 2  it’s soo boring and I actually like boring shows like Servant and the earlier part of Severence

actually you need to stick around some more eps until you get to the most exciting part of s1...i think its around ep3, that diary scene will always be a moment for me and my dad lol
