Kang Sae-byeok (the North Korean defector) is 067, Cho Sang-woo (the Stanford-educated finance crook) is 218, and the mysterious elderly Oh Il-nam is 001. Squid Game became Netflix\u2019s first show to hit #1 in every country it launched in, amassing over 1.6 billion hours watched in its first month alone.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Eliminated! The answer is 456. Gi-hun\u2019s number is the very last of the 456 players. 067 is Sae-byeok the defector, 218 is Sang-woo the Stanford grad, and 001 is the mysterious old man Oh Il-nam whose identity becomes the series\u2019 biggest reveal.

Jenna Ortega \u2014 a Disney Channel graduate and indie-horror favourite (X, Scream VI) \u2014 took the role Christina Ricci made iconic in the 1990s films and made it entirely her own. Her now-famous cello-accompanied dance scene became an overnight TikTok phenomenon, and her performance earned Wednesday two Emmy nominations despite airing mid-season.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Eliminated! The answer is Jenna Ortega. Millie Bobby Brown is Eleven on Stranger Things, Sadie Sink plays Max Mayfield (also Stranger Things), and Maya Hawke plays Robin. Ortega\u2019s deadpan Wednesday Addams \u2014 and her viral cello-dance scene \u2014 turned the show into a global phenomenon in late 2022.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><label class=\"nf-btn-next\" for=\"nf-s3\">NEXT \u2192<\/label><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>    <!-- Q3: House of Cards --><\/p>\n<section class=\"nf-slide nf-sl3\">\n<div class=\"nf-question-card\">\n<p>03<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"nf-question-text\">In 2013, Netflix released a dark political thriller starring Kevin Spacey as a ruthless congressman breaking the fourth wall.

House of Cards \u2014 adapted by Beau Willimon from the 1990 BBC series \u2014 became Netflix\u2019s first prestige original and proved a streaming service could go toe-to-toe with HBO. Kevin Spacey\u2019s Frank Underwood and his asides to camera defined early streaming TV. Orange Is the New Black followed months later in July 2013 and became Netflix\u2019s longest-running original at the time.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Eliminated! The answer is House of Cards (February 2013). Orange Is the New Black launched five months later (July 2013), Arrested Development\u2019s Netflix revival came in May 2013, and Hemlock Grove was a horror effort the same spring.

Olivia Colman \u2014 fresh off her Best Actress Oscar for The Favourite \u2014 played the Queen across seasons 3 and 4, covering the late 1960s through the early Thatcher years. Imelda Staunton took over for seasons 5-6, Helena Bonham Carter played Princess Margaret in seasons 3-4, and Gillian Anderson stole the show as Margaret Thatcher in season 4.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Eliminated! The answer is Olivia Colman. Imelda Staunton took over for the final two seasons (5-6). Helena Bonham Carter played the chain-smoking Princess Margaret during seasons 3-4 alongside Colman. Gillian Anderson delivered an Emmy-winning Margaret Thatcher in season 4. Colman anchored the show\u2019s middle era fresh off her 2019 Oscar win.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><label class=\"nf-btn-next\" for=\"nf-s5\">NEXT \u2192<\/label><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>    <!-- Q5: Stranger Things --><\/p>\n<section class=\"nf-slide nf-sl5\">\n<div class=\"nf-question-card\">\n<p>05<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"nf-question-text\">The Duffer Brothers\u2019 1980s nostalgia juggernaut sees Eleven and the gang battle inter-dimensional horrors from a portal beneath the town\u2019s Hawkins National Laboratory.

Hawkins, Indiana \u2014 a fictional Midwestern small town that became one of TV\u2019s most iconic settings. The Duffer Brothers chose Indiana for its unassuming, ordinary-America vibe, making the supernatural chaos feel more jarring. Derry is Stephen King\u2019s It setting, Hill Valley is from Back to the Future, and Twin Peaks is David Lynch\u2019s famous town.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Eliminated! The answer is Hawkins, Indiana. Derry, Maine is the fictional town from Stephen King\u2019s It. Hill Valley is Marty McFly\u2019s home in Back to the Future. Twin Peaks, Washington is David Lynch\u2019s famous fictional town.

Shonda Rhimes \u2014 the creator of Grey\u2019s Anatomy and Scandal \u2014 produces Bridgerton through her Shondaland banner as the first major fruit of her massive 2017 Netflix deal. Chris Van Dusen created the show, but Shondaland\u2019s signature ensemble-romance DNA is all over it. Julian Fellowes did Downton Abbey, Ryan Murphy did Monster\/Dahmer, and Jenji Kohan did Orange Is the New Black.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Eliminated! The answer is Shonda Rhimes (Shondaland). Ryan Murphy produces true-crime anthologies like Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story. Julian Fellowes is the Downton Abbey\/Gilded Age creator \u2014 a different period drama entirely. Jenji Kohan is behind Orange Is the New Black and Weeds.

It inspired protest iconography worldwide, from Lebanon to France. The original Antena 3 version underperformed; Netflix acquired it in 2017, re-edited it, and turned it into a global sensation.<\/p>\n<p>\u2717 Eliminated! The answer is Salvador Dal\u00ed. Guy Fawkes is the V for Vendetta mask that Anonymous adopted. Che Guevara is a common revolutionary image but not the heist crew\u2019s mask. Picasso is a frequent wrong answer given he\u2019s the more globally-known Spanish artist \u2014 but the Dal\u00ed mask, with its iconic moustache, is the one fused forever with Money Heist\u2019s red jumpsuits.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><label class=\"nf-btn-next\" for=\"nf-s8\">NEXT \u2192<\/label><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>    <!-- Q8: Queen's Gambit --><\/p>\n<section class=\"nf-slide nf-sl8\">\n<div class=\"nf-question-card\">\n<p>08<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"nf-question-text\">Netflix\u2019s 2020 limited series about a Cold War-era chess prodigy named Beth Harmon caused a global surge in chess-set sales and was one of the streamer\u2019s most-watched shows that year.

However, their sense of security is quickly shattered when police arrive at the family home and take Lucy\u2019s husband into custody. The authorities accuse him of a serious crime, forcing her to question if she ever really knew her partner at all. <\/p>\n<p>Rather than focusing on the criminal investigation, the preview centers on Lucy\u2019s reaction to the accusations. Her immediate concern is protecting her son while attempting to process the allegations against her husband. As the trailer progresses, the calm domestic setting established in its opening moments quickly escalates as fear, anger, and suspicion take over.<\/p>\n<p>The film\u2019s official logline describes Lucy as being forced to protect her child and confront how little she knows about her husband after a police raid upends her life. The story deals with the fallout surrounding an investigation. Judging by the trailer for <em>Gentle Monster<\/em>, Kreutzer chooses to focus on the people surrounding the perpetrator more than the case itself.<\/p>\n<p><em>Gentle Monster <\/em>previously premiered at <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/cannes-film-festival-2025-ranked\/\" target=\"_blank\">the Cannes Film Festival<\/a>, where Seydoux was praised for her performance. Critics say that her portrayal of Lucy was one of the film\u2019s major highlights. The film also stars Jella Haase (Elsa K\u00fchn), Nils Strunk (Lukas), Malo Blanchet (Johnny), Anton Rubtsov (Arian), Catherine Deneuve (Eloise), Patrycja Zi\u00f3\u0142kowska (Natalia), Sylvester Groth (Hermann), and K\u00fchn Regina Fritsch (Inge Weiss), alongside Seydoux and Rupp.<\/p>\n<p><em>Gentle Monster<\/em> will be released on November 18, 2026, on <strong>Netflix<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card tag type-generic large \" data-show-streamrentbuy-links=\"false\" data-include-community-rating=\"false\" id=\"45af-4ee3-9b2fce854452\">\n<div class=\"display-card-main-content-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"display-card-main-content\">\n<div class=\"display-card-content image-column large\">\n<p>                        <!--  Image --><\/p>\n<div class=\"w-img \" data-stnl-group-once=\"2sPU8hk55k\">\n<div class=\"body-img square \">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  img-article-square\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/netflix_logo-1.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;&quot;\">\n                                                                                                                                                            <picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/netflix_logo-1.jpg?q=70&amp;fit=contain&amp;w=300&amp;dpr=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/netflix_logo-1.jpg?q=70&amp;fit=contain&amp;w=300&amp;dpr=1\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/netflix_logo-1.jpg?q=70&amp;fit=contain&amp;w=400&amp;dpr=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/netflix_logo-1.jpg?q=70&amp;fit=contain&amp;w=400&amp;dpr=1\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/netflix_logo-1.jpg?q=70&amp;fit=contain&amp;w=320&amp;dpr=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/netflix_logo-1.jpg?q=70&amp;fit=contain&amp;w=320&amp;dpr=1\"\/><img width=\"420\" height=\"420\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"netflix logo\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/netflix_logo-1.jpg?q=70&amp;fit=contain&amp;w=420&amp;dpr=1\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/netflix_logo-1.jpg?q=70&amp;fit=contain&amp;w=420&amp;dpr=1\"\/>\n        <\/picture>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"display-card-content info-column\">\n<p>                    <!--  Display card main info widget --><\/p>\n<div class=\"w-display-card-info main-info\">\n<div class=\"w-display-card-info\">\n<dl>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- div --><\/p>\n<p><dt>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>founded<\/strong> \t\t\t\t\t<\/dt>\n<dd>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJanuary 16, 2007<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/dd>\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- div --><\/p>\n<p><dt>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>founders<\/strong> \t\t\t\t\t<\/dt>\n<dd>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tReed Hastings and Marc Randolph<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/dd>\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- div --><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- div --><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- div --><\/p>\n<\/dl><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>                    <!--  Display card main info widget end -->\n                <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>            <!-- Default Description or Custom one added by creator ( override )--><\/p>\n<p>            <!-- Extra content section, display hidden by default --><br \/>\n            <input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"extra-content-45af-4ee3-9b2fce854452\" name=\"extra-content-45af-4ee3-9b2fce854452\" class=\"expand-extra-info-checkbox css-menu-checkbox\"\/> <!-- Checkbox: control the expandable behavior  of the extra info --><\/p>\n<p>            <!-- PROS and CONS section --><\/p>\n<p>            <!-- Affiliate links section --><\/p>\n<p>            <!-- Display card footer --><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Netflix&#8217;s Gentle Monster transforms a family&#8217;s seemingly happy and perfect life into a complete nightmare.
