It really shows the effects from episode 2 along with grief, heartache, and who's really at blame. The games feel much more intense than last season, and the camera movement in the game in this episode really added to the unbalance and nervous feeling which made it so good to watch. I really like the different storylines and can see where they are going and I am excited to see how this game ends. So far this season has been my favourite and has some of the best set of episode in the series, with episode 2 being my favourite of the series so far. I hope this season holds up and we will see how the games end..

This episode doesn't seem like it should've been such a low score but it was dragged so far down by the absolutely ridiculous conversations that take place, specifically from the VIPs. Each actor was pretty abysmal, and some of the things they said were laugh out loud bad. I really do love this show, and am very excited to finish the season, and i'm seeing some promise in some of the scenes, but my GOD the VIP dialogue is so bad it ruined the watching experience. I know that a couple of scenes with janky dialogue shouldn't bother me that much, but it did, it drove me crazy, I really hope it gets better as the show continues.

I really liked Episode 3 of Season 3 of Squid Game, it was super entertaining and had a lot of impact on the overall story. The tension, the pacing, the visuals,everything just hit the right notes for me. It felt like one of those episodes that sticks with you, especially with how the plot starts to shift in more intense directions.

That said, the VIPs honestly kind of ruined parts of it for me. I get that they're supposed to represent the ultra-wealthy and show how detached they are from the games, but their dialogue just feels... off. They talk like NPCs in a bad video game, super stiff, awkward, and really unnatural. It almost sounds like the lines were dubbed in after the fact, which makes their scenes feel weirdly out of place compared to the rest of the show, which is usually so grounded and well-acted.

It's frustrating because the rest of the episode is so strong, but every time the VIPs show up, it kind of kills the momentum. I feel like with better writing or delivery, they could've actually added something chilling or creepy. Instead, they just feel kind of cartoonish. Still love the episode overall, but man, those parts took me out of it a bit.

This episode keeps the season's intensity high, but it also starts to show some signs of formula fatigue. Visually, it's stunning. The new game they introduce is creative, tense, and very well shot. The direction builds suspense really effectively-Squid Game still nails that feeling of danger in every second.

What I liked the most was the emotional depth some characters begin to show. You can tell that past decisions are starting to weigh heavily on them, which adds a human layer to the chaos. There are moments that really hit emotionally, though I wish the episode had slowed down just a bit to let them breathe more.

There are also some powerful scenes near the end-can't say too much without spoilers-but they explore serious themes like guilt, forgiveness, and moral limits in a very raw, compelling way.

What didn't quite work for me was the pacing. Everything feels a bit rushed, like the episode tries to squeeze too much emotion and action into a short amount of time. And the formula of "intense game + dramatic moment" is starting to feel a bit repetitive, which takes away some of the unpredictability.

All in all, "It's Not Your Fault" is a solid episode with strong performances, impressive visuals, and a few standout scenes. But it also shows that the series needs to start taking new risks if it wants to keep surprising us. Good, but not my favorite.

Just, why? The story would be entirely fine without them at all. They are horrible actors, their dialogue is cringey, and it seems their only criteria for being hired was their ability to speak English. Are they supposed to be comedy relief? Because they aren't funny. Are they supposed to portray the ultra rich? Because they look more like a group of extras from Mad Max. Just WHY??? Surely, there were some English speaking natives on the team that could've advised the director to not include these actors. Korean shows have come a long way since the 90s. It is NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE TO HIRE ACTORS FOR FOREIGN ROLES BASED SOLELY ON THEIR ABILITY TO SPEAK THE LANGUAGE. The rest of Squid Game is great but including these actors really reflects negatively on the director.
