What it does have is a return to the tensions that make this show so wonderfully uncomfortable, a looming game designed specifically to exacerbate them—and a proven, and unflinching, willingness to twist the knife.
This epic dystopian tale’s final chapter retains the qualities that made it a global behemoth. Its poptastic visuals, perfectly pitched performances and cruel twists are a wild ride worth staying seated for.
Squid Game. Season 3. What does it mean to be human? A truly grand finale of such a story that shows all of modern society. Hwang Dong-hyuk did a great job of showing what it means to be human, and perhaps for many it will change the perception of life. If we take the series itself, then season 3 was the most emotional of all. Even the finale of season 1 was not as difficult as many moments here. Huge thanks to everyone involved for creating such a masterpiece.
Fantastic, loved it start to finish. A lot of depth to these character arcs. The group dynamics were engrossing and made for heavy social commentary, and I did not expect that ending. My only complaint was the stilted dialogue of the VIPs, but that's not worth docking a point. Can't say much more because I want this to be spoiler-free, but brilliant, quality show with superb attention to detail.
Nothing will recapture the sheer “what the hell am I watching?” quality of a first season that came out of nowhere. But this is a satisfying sign-off – tied up winningly with a blood-stained bow.
Most characters end up exactly where you expect, but at least the performances remain strong and moving, and a few flourishes in the epilogue have a lasting impact.
Squid Game might have obscured that hopefulness with how it fetishizes bloodlust, and how it normalized the accompanying gore so that we, too, craved more than what we needed. But if the series has a legacy, it’s in choosing not to finish Gi-hun’s statement in the series finale about what he thinks “humans are.” This time, Squid Game wants us to make up our own minds.
By the time Squid Game finally crawls over the finish line, there’s no sense of the triumph you might get from completing a really good story — only of relief that this entire grueling experience is finally over.
Season 3 of “Squid Game” delivers a masterclass in storytelling, maintaining relentless tension while deepening its psychological and thematic layers. The writing is sharp, the performances are gripping, and the visual direction remains strikingly bold. It’s a thrilling and emotionally resonant continuation that not only meets expectations but surpasses them in every way.
After Season One which was a World Wide phenomenon I was totally loving it and on board.
But after Billing Season 2 and Season 3 as two different Seasons which I disagree with it comes off as more Season 2 A
and Season 2B.
I felt Committed to the franchise to see how they ended it. I feel that season 2a and 2b lacked what made season 1 so great.
I feel them adding the new "contestant" was cheesy, cheap and not that cool it took away from the story in my opinion it felt vary out of place and a cheep way to tug on your heart strings they might as well thrown in a Service Dog or a pretty Cat being executed to get the guaranteed emotion that would bring out of an average Human.
All and All Squid Game what started as a World Wide phenom fizzled into a forgettable one and done don't look back type of show. By the end they set the tone for an American Version coming out in the near future which I will take or leave.
I am sure I will click on American Squid Game and watch an episode or two if i am bord enough but I will not be hyped counting down the days. I am sure the magic is gone and they will just revisit the same themes but repackage it for a Common American Audience that hate subtitles or Dub shows. All in All if your like me and loved Season one you will probably watch the rest because you feel committed to the franchise it wasn't horrible but it wasn't close to the same level season one presented us.
Gi-Hun’s return to Squid Game comes to a frustrating conclusion. It’s hard to believe this season was written by the same mind behind the original. The tension and clever twists are all ****-eul’s subplot, which initially seemed like it might offer a fresh perspective by showing someone working within the Squid Game system, ultimately goes nowhere. It ends up feeling like filler, a meaningless detour that adds nothing to the main story and only serves to pad the **** the most insulting narrative choice involves Detective Jun-ho. After two seasons of building intrigue around his investigation and survival, his arc collapses with an underwhelming thud. His presence in Season 3 is so useless it borders on parody, a complete waste of **** then there’s the ending. It's not just unsatisfying, it's blatantly designed to keep the franchise alive at all costs. It’s less of a conclusion and more of a corporate strategy, and you can feel Netflix’s fingerprints all over it.A disappointing end to what was once a bold and original series.
Quelques mois plus **** après la seconde, la saison 3 débarque enfin et on espère que c'est vraiment la dernière... mais vu la fin légèrement ambigüe, on se le demande... mais bon voilà quoi. Toujours est-il que cette saison se traîne en longueurs (malgré un nombre d'épisodes limité) et multiplie les aberrations scénaristiques aberrantes d'invraisemblables invraisemblances ! Alors que la fin elle-même, d'emblée prétentieuse mais aussi très prévisible, y compris l'épilogue, s'avère plate et convenue, une sorte d'insipide soupe aux clichés... en somme ! Heureusement, les trois nouveaux "jeux" sont très amusants (et sadiques), hormis le dernier dont les rebondissements s'avèrent ratés et peu crédibles. Voilà donc une conclusion regrettable et décevante à une série qui brillait vraiment dans sa toute première saison, la seule digne de ce nom et la seule qu'il faut regarder, puisque les saisons deux et trois ont (globalement) fait de la merde.
