Here's What Jeff Bezos Said About Netflix's 'Squid Game'

"Reed Hastings and Ted Sarandos and the team at Netflix get it right so often," wrote Jeff Bezos

On Sunday, Jeff Bezos tweeted in praise of Netflix and its internationalization strategy that has turned several obscure, non-English shows into global hits. The show that inspired this tweet from Mr Bezos (whose Amazon Prime Video is in direct competition with Netflix) is Squid Game. Set in South Korea, this dystopian story of cash-strapped contestants competing in children's games has become an international phenomenon, with Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos predicting that it might soon dethrone Bridgerton and The Witcher as the platform's most sampled original-series launch ever, reports Vulture.  .@ReedHastings and Ted Sarandos and the team at @Netflix get it right so often. Their internationalization strategy isn't easy, and they're making it work. Impressive and inspiring. (And I can't wait to watch the show.) https://t.co/yFw7TGyc1U No, just simple admiration. https://t.co/uLeWcB8xrn

Mr Bezos, founder of Amazon and Blue Origin, shared the Vulture's article on Squid Game while praising Netflix. "Reed Hastings and Ted Sarandos and the team at Netflix get it right so often," he wrote on Twitter. "Their internationalization strategy isn't easy, and they're making it work," he said, praising it as both inspiring and impressive.
