Netflix's "Dead-End Job" has become a global streaming hit, reaching No. 2 on the platform's overall charts after debuting at No. 4 on the Global Top 10 Non-English Shows list during its first week.
The South Korean series, created by Han Jun-hee and directed by Kim Da-min, premiered before Halloween. It stars Lee Jae-wook as Hyeok-jun, who takes a job from the Spider Staffing Agency that pays "50 times the minimum wage" but carries deadly risks. Go Min-si plays Eum Yeon-joo, an investigator looking into events at the agency. The show runs eight episodes of nearly 40 minutes each.
"Dead-End Job" debuted with a 100% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes. Netflix has not announced a second season despite the series ending on a cliffhanger. All eight episodes are now available to stream.
