Turns out, it wasn’t much of a challenge at all.
“Squid Game: The Challenge” dominated Netflix’s overall leaderboard in its debut week, when it drew 20.1 million views. The unscripted competition series picked up where the I.P. left off in 2021, bumping Part 1 of “The Crown’s” sixth season to second place (8.8 million views) for the week of November 20, 2023.
“Squid Game: The Challenge,” filmed in the UK, is an English-language series; Og “Squid Game” was a Korean-language series dubbed into local languages. As such, the scripted show technically rests atop Netflix’s “Non-English” list, though it blows away all the English-language stuff anyway.
“The Challenge” was so big it brought “Squid Game” back to the Global Top 10 for non-english series — at no. 6 with 1.6 million views — its 21st appearance. The scripted show hadn’t made the list since the week ending June 19, 2022. The long Thanksgiving holiday weekend sure helped the streams pile up.

Mike Birbiglia stars in “The Old Man and The Pool”, a stand-up show directed by Seth Barrish.
Someone once said that making people laugh was the hardest thing in the world, and they were not wrong. Becoming a comedian requires not only natural talent but also the development of a distinctive style, a unique way of making humor.
Mike Birbiglia has certainly achieved this, and he has done so with a sense of humor and a style that is even more challenging. Mike doesn’t rely on excessive gestures or raised voices, nor does he seek extravagant humor or easy laughter. Instead, his discourse unfolds with a coherent and seemingly simple structure, accompanied by an interpretation devoid of theatrics.
