Netflix declared in a letter to shareholders that “Squid Game” has emerged as our biggest TV show ever. A mind-boggling 142m member households globally have chosen to watch the title in its first four weeks.”

It added that “Squid Game” is “truly amazing” as it ranked No. 1 in 94 countries including the US.
