The Korean drama “Squid Game” has become Netflix’s most popular debut ever, with 111 million accounts in less than a month after it went live.
This high-stakes drama focuses on a small number of 456 players who compete with each other in a life-and-death game to eliminate their financial debts and get rich.
It is regarded as an allegory of Korean class differences and a critique of capitalism in East Asian countries.
However, the popularity of the show was rated as TV-MA, which led the education protection team in Central Bedfordshire, England to send emails to parents urging them to “be alert” to the version of children playing games on the show.
The email shared last month read: “Recently there have been some worrying reports about children and young people’playing’ squid games in schools.”
