Netflix's Surprising New Sci-Fi Hit Making Waves in the Top 10

A quick look at the Top 10 list on Netflix this week and you'll see a few titles that aren't too surprising. Don't Look Up, The Witcher, and Emily in Paris have all been delivering expectedly dominant performances for the streaming service since their debuts this month. Coming in just behind those titles, however, is a new sci-fi series you may not have heard of, but is quickly making waves with Netflix subscribers in the United States.

The Silent Sea is sci-fi series about explorers trying to retrieve top secret information from an abandoned research facility on the moon, and it has been steadily rising through the Netflix ranks this week. Monday's edition of the list has the series in the fourth overall spot, just below the three aforementioned hits. 

There wasn't much publicity on Netflix for The Silent Sea ahead of its release, at least here in the US. That's likely because the series hails from Korea and isn't an English-language project. However, Korean productions have suddenly found massive audiences on Netflix in every country as of late, thanks in large part to the Squid Game phenomenon. Hellbound, a horror genre series, blew up just after Squid Game started trailing off, and now The Silent Sea is having its own moment in the spotlight.
