Why are your fellow Brits so square?
I love how Netflix probably spent millions on Squid Game, and the Top 2 TV shows in the UK are fireplace videos from 2015! (Squid Game is at 9)
There's something very "Starmer's Britain" about using a fire on a screen as a substitute for the real thing. It's environmentally conscious, underwhelming and not really what anyone wanted.
