Released on 06/11, Arcane: League of Legends quickly becomes the most-viewed series on Netflix.
Previously, Squid Game held the top spot for 47 consecutive days after its September release. However, the hype surrounding Squid Game has died down, and audiences have embraced the new trend with Arcane.
Despite only releasing 3 episodes, Arcane has received an abundance of positive feedback from both viewers and critics. Specifically, the series has achieved a remarkable 9.4 rating on IMDb, surpassing Squid Game's 8.1. Furthermore, Arcane has climbed to the second spot among the most popular TV shows, rising 187 ranks and trailing only behind Yellowstone.
Arcane is an animated series adapted from League of Legends, co-produced by Riot and Netflix to commemorate the game's 10th anniversary. The series revolves around the conflict between the cities of Zaun and Piltover, delving into their past and exploring the relationship between two iconic game characters, Vi and Jinx.
The next 3 episodes of Arcane's second chapter have been exceptionally well-received. Deployed naturally and persuasively, the series offers a fresh perspective on character relationships, setting the stage for a thrilling finale in the last 3 episodes, promising an explosive Chapter III.
Arcane's clever character development and plot construction make it an exceptionally outstanding series. With its established reputation from the League of Legends game, it's no surprise that this series boldly claims the top spot as the most-watched on Netflix in many regions.
Despite rising to popularity on Netflix in 38 countries, Arcane has still received some mixed reviews from netizens. Many Netizens believe that Arcane's surpassing of Squid Game is due to Riot's massive marketing campaign over the past few months. However, the majority of netizens still highly value Arcane's content and consider it the reason for its success.
