Most popular in history
The director and co-CEO of Netflix, Ted Sarandos, even stated that Round 6 would be the most popular series. In this case, he refers to the most popular series in the history of Netflix. However, according to the new seasons, the program has great prospects to become a classic on display.
There is no doubt that Netflix works hard to position itself ahead of the competition. After all, few expected such a quick new overwhelming success. Bridgerton looks like it launched yesterday and blew up the platform's audience. Now, Round 6 promises to be even more popular.
It is worth noting that Netflix is also the creator of Stranger Things, The Witcher, Lupine, The Crown, etc. Several titles on the platform are leading global pop culture lists.
Round 6
The series stars actor Lee Jung-jae, who plays Seong Gi-hun. Upon entering the billionaire competition, the character discovers that only one will survive. Round 6 is one of the bloodiest series currently present on the streaming platform.
Released on September 17, all nine episodes received a 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The story is intriguing and, at the same time, macabre and has already conquered thousands of fans.
The deadly game uses simple and even childish games to decide who survives or not. Many of these jokes have already started to be played by fans of the series. Of course, none of them pose any real risks to anyone, as they are games used in the real world.
The official synopsis released by the platform reads as follows:
“A somewhat mysterious invitation arrives for people who are in desperate need of money. The goal? Summon them for an even more mysterious game! The 456 participants find themselves confined to a secret place to compete with each other for the 45.6 billion won prize. Each contest is a traditional children's game in Korea, and the losers pay the price of failure with their lives. Now it remains to be seen: who will be the big winner of the competition? And who is behind this game?
