The Squid Game phenomenon has taken the world by storm.
After being on Netflix for just over a month – it is now the most-streamed show on the platform.
According to reports, the streaming giant gained millions of new subscriptions following its release.
During the Morning Show with Thomas and Skhumba, the hosts asked the listeners what made them watch Squid Game.
Skhumba is also one of those who watched Squid Game because of the hype.
Thomas revealed that he was hooked to Game of Thrones.
“I got so addicted, and I’d wake up at 3 in the morning for Game of Thrones. I was losing my mind.
“The hype was there and I didn’t get it until I bumped into it,” he said about the award-winning series.
The conversation developed into series/movies we’ve watched because of hype and if they lived up to expectations.
Listeners reactions
“I tried the first episode. It’s the same as Game Of Thrones. At some point, I had all nine seasons and I couldn’t bother,” said a caller who was left disappointed.
Just like Thomas, another a listener stays up until late binge-watching their favourite show.
“I’m on the Good Doctor and I normally sleep around twelve.”
Other listeners recommended Snowfall, Money Heist and Gangs of London.
