I thought the first episode was amazing - this is new level. This reminds me of how great it was to watch season 1 where they had a whole episode on a game where the stakes were high for every character. The momentum didn't stop and I love Gi Hun's character he is insane this season. The seriousness of this season is amazing and I hope the rest of the season holds, especially with only 6 episodes. I feel like the first episode this season was a perfect set up for this and they work so well hand in hand. They perfected the start of season 3 and I hope it carries through. Holy squid this episode was PEAK.

This episode was gripping, thrilling and extremely heart pounding. The episode flew by too. I was only going to watch half of it before going to bed since I work the next day, but I was glued to my seat.

The episode has fantastic character moments and a heartbreaking finale. The second and third season has done a great job of building characters and making you care about them and so when these characters have to make emotional decisions they have emotional arcs. This episode has so many emotional character arcs and many shocking moments. This episode has moments that many will be talking about.

What an incredible episode for this series. It may be recency bias, but this might be my favourite episode of the series so far and depending on how the rest of the season goes, this could be my favourite of the show.

Its already exceeding expectations. Insane how good this episode was. Gi-hun is a completely different person every season its insane. Its crazy how great of an actor Lee Jung-jae is. Hopefully he wins another award for this season. Actually, i hope all the actors get an award for this season. Theres spectacular acting all around! Dae-ho, the pregnant girl, the son, the mom, nam-gyu, et cetera. Im scared for the other episodes because if episode 2 was this depressing, wtf is going to happen in the next 4? I really hope Gi-hun finds a reason to smile once again. Bro deserves that more than anyone else.

Yes. Yes and yes...This is the squid game we all loved..Best episode of the show hands down alongside Kkanbu back in season 1...Cinematography is amazing,the whole claustrophobic aura of the episode makes you feel that you are part of the game and MY GOD the performances..Breathtaking,amazing emotional..It was everything we seeked that season 2 didn't have..And that's why Squid game always will have a special spot in everyone's heart..The whole "Game of Thrones vibe" to not get attached and preference to any of the characters is amazing..You know that probably anyone will die but you can't help yourself from loved them..And that's why Squid episode make us lose some of the best characters of the new games..Especially one of them was like a punch in the guts for how unfair and unjust it was..But this was always the moto of this series

"Life is not fair"

God this episode was so good there's nothing much more I can say. Since I have nothing more to say, I'll leave the plot of season one down below:

In Squid Game's first season, Seong Gi-hun, a debt-ridden chauffeur, is invited to participate in a series of deadly children's games for a chance to win a massive cash prize. He joins 455 others, all facing financial ruin, and they soon discover that elimination in the games means death. The season follows their struggle for survival as they navigate increasingly dangerous challenges, form alliances, and uncover the dark secrets behind the games... absolute cinema.
