'Squid Game 3' saturates Netflix's global servers

 

The third and final season of Netflix's record-breaking series, 'Squid Game,' premiered on Friday (June 27) and apparently saturated the streaming platform in the process.

This Korean drama, which premiered in 2021, follows a group of debt-ridden people fighting for a monetary prize and their own survival.

The long-awaited final season, directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, will conclude the story with a bloody battle to the end.

However, the series' premiere on Netflix caused technical issues for viewers, as several people complained that episodes wouldn't load.

'Squid Game' crashed Netflix after just a minute,” one person wrote alongside a screenshot that read: “Something went wrong. We're sorry you're having trouble with your request. You'll find plenty to explore on the homepage.”

Another commented: “Hahahaha, there were so many people waiting for the final season of 'Squid Game' that Netflix won't even play the new episodes. People broke Netflix because of 'Squid Game.'”

“I came here to see if I was the only one lol,” commented another, while a third responded: “I feel the same.”
