Top 10 TV Shows of 20218 of 10
3. "Squid Game" | Available to Stream on Netflix
Illustrating that there's nothing better than good, old-fashioned word-of-mouth, "Squid Game" became the breakout success of 2021 as it became everyone's #1 streaming recommendation and dominated the Netflix Top 10. The South Korean series that stuck it to the meritocracy inspired countless memes, think pieces, and Halloween costumes as it sharply rose to the #1 spot on our MOVIEmeter chart by late September 2021. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk walked back the reports that a second season has been ordered at Netflix, but we expect that announcement might come in the form of a holiday gift from the streaming service.
