I'd think it'd be a show that really resonates there, a western opioid-pushing corporate dynasty getting annihilated in poetic ways.

Edit, someone mentioned the monologues so here's one of my favorites that really illustrates the rot at the core of the rich: Lemon Monologue

Edit 2: There's also Madeline's monologue

Nope, he was big there, too.

Poe was also hugely influential in France and Japan. The French especially admired him as a poet, and the first big Japanese detective writer named himself after Poe - Edogawa Rampo.

In the Spanish speaking world too - Julio Cortázar's translations are very highly regarded

Baudelaire, Lu Xun, Cortázar - what an incredible roster of translators.

France I'm actually a bit surprised by since culturally they tend to be a bit insular, but China and Japan make sense to me. They both kind of strike me as very literary cultures, even of works from outside their respective regions.
