Netflix's Latest Foreign Hit Surges In Popularity With 100% Rotten Tomatoes Score
In a year where hundreds of new shows and movies flood Netflix's library, it's no easy feat to stand out from the crowd. However, when a foreign title gains a string of A-list stars, its chances of success skyrocket. Just such a production is Last Samurai Standing, a show adapted from a novel about a Japanese warrior tournament in the late 19th century.
The show follows the story of a personal mission undertaken by a warrior to help his sick wife and child. With nearly 300 actors, intricate costumes, and sweeping settings, it was clear that Netflix spared no expense on this production. Its feudal theme caught the attention of critics, with many praising its unique blend of action and drama.
Last Samurai Standing's meteoric rise in popularity can be seen in the data from Google Trends, which shows a surge in searches for the show to 100, indicating peak popularity. The data suggests that word is spreading fast about the caliber of the show, with millions processing more than five trillion searches last year alone.
While it's too early to tell if Last Samurai Standing will sustain its momentum, one thing is certain - it's bucking the trend of a typical lag between release and an increase in searches. With new original content hitting Netflix soon, maintaining popularity will be crucial for this show to become another Squid Game hit or just a fleeting moment.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding its long-term success, Last Samurai Standing has already joined the exclusive club of shows with a 100% critics and audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, indicating widespread critical acclaim.
