Now it's official: "The Squid Game" is the most watched series on Netflix.

The streaming giant confirmed in an interview with CNN that the launch of the Korean series is the most successful launch of Netflix, and has garnered more than 111 million views since it aired on September 17.

A series centered on a children's play contest in which the disqualified go to their deaths includes nine episodes and soon became a hit.

It was ranked first among Netflix's most watched content in dozens of countries around the world, including Israel.

By comparison, the "Bridgerton" series, which was the most watched content on Netflix upon launch, garnered 82 million views in its first 28 days.

The "squid game" bypassed this impressive figure in a shorter time.

Sources at Netflix confirmed in an interview with CNN that the series ranks first on the list of successful series in 94 countries, and that it is the first Korean series to receive this achievement.

However, many criticize the fact that Netflix's viewing figures are not transparent, and that this is a figure released by the streaming giant itself, when the public has no ability to know if the figure is accurate.

In addition, critics say that viewing is counted even if a person has watched five minutes of the entire series, and therefore these are inflated data.
