Season 2, Part 1 and 2, feel rushed and appear to have been adapted for the US market. This is a waste of what was a promising story. The ending was terrible in every conceivable way. I'm so disappointed that this could have ended so poorly. Characters were stripped of their complexity, and the dialogue felt unnatural. The suspense was gone, replaced by lazy writing and predictable twists. It felt like fan service for a completely different audience. What once had depth and meaning has now turned into a shallow imitation. A total betrayal of what made Season 1 so impactful. Let's continue milking the cow!

I understand why people are rating this 1 star, because from a series like Squid Game, people were expecting a nice, heart-warming, happy ending where the protagonist survives and ends this violent and brutal game. But people forget, the world is not nice, is not ideal, is not peaceful, but is brutal, savage and nice people do not necessarily end up being happy. The reality of this world is shown in the series' finale and sadly not a lot of people understand it, or I should say, do not WANT to understand it. People choose to close their eyes so that they can keep thinking that good things happen with good people, and when it isn't shown in the end, they end up disappointed. The truth is, the world is feral, and will always be, reality is bitter, and people do not like bitterness.

Personally, I enjoyed the pacing and action throughout the whole season, but I didn't like the resolution at all. The last episode was good talking about technical aspects, Netflix did a nice job as always for squid game's cinematography. The main problem is the writing and how the episode leads to a very predictable and cliché ending.

We all knew what was going on with the main character and the side cast was also wasted of it's potential. 333's conclusion, The North Korean girl sub-plot etc... This is until the very end, with that scene in LA... In my opinion it was a dissapointing epilogue for such a captivating series with high entertainment and pacing. It kept me hooked before the last episodes for nothing at all.

Squid Game Season 3 is a deeply satisfying, poetic, and thought-provoking sendoff to one of the most compelling character journeys we've seen in modern television.

This ending is going to spark debates for years-maybe even split fans down the middle. But that's what makes it great. It dares to choose meaning over mass appeal. And in a time when so many finales are designed to please, Squid Game chooses truth.

In the streaming age, where everything is sliced into bite-sized tension loops to satisfy the binge model, most shows are afraid to breathe. Squid Game isn't. It knows how to deliver thrilling, edge-of-the-seat moments and still remain grounded in story and character. It doesn't just hook you with cliffhangers-it earns your investment by making you feel the weight of every decision.

And when it comes to decisions-every single character's choices, no matter how dark or tragic, feel understandable. You may not agree with them. But you get them. That's what makes this such a rich piece of storytelling. It doesn't paint morality in black and white. It embraces the murky grey where real humanity exists.

Gi-hun's ending isn't the ending many viewers would have hoped for. It's not wrapped in justice, not drenched in triumph. But it's honest. It's raw. It reflects the truth that in real life, good doesn't always win. And even when it does, it comes at a cost. This ending has the courage to stare into that truth-and that's what makes it unforgettable.

There's a brutal kind of poetry in how this series understands people. The hurt. The compromise. The desperate, clawing need to survive. Even the villains aren't truly villains. Just broken people trying to play a rigged game. And the way Squid Game navigates that terrain-without ever spoon-feeding its audience-is what elevates it.

Season 3 isn't just a conclusion. It's a statement. A warning. A mirror. And most importantly, a triumph in screenwriting that will be studied and remembered for years.

We didn't just watch a show. We witnessed the making of a modern classic.

Hats off.

They remind us about the sand snakes from GOT. Characters that are meant to add dimension but ultimately end up annoying and add nothing to the plot.

As for this season, since the concept isn't fresh it was dependent upon the pace and honestly it was slow. The concept of the games were nice but dragged on for so long that it lost steam. Out of all the games, Hide & Seek was the best one as it showed the main character being exposed to his dark side.

But bringing in a baby so the main character can show how noble he is was stretching it to a soap opera level and not needed.

But I am glad I watched it; though the freshness of the first season was lost.
