As someone who was genuinely thrilled by the tension and unpredictability of previous Squid Game entries, Season 3's premiere left me underwhelmed. The episode leans heavily into setup, exposition, and drawn-out character reintroductions, but sadly forgets to carry the same gripping tension that made the series iconic in the first place.
The biggest flaw? The game hasn't started yet. While it's understandable that the creators wanted to rebuild suspense and flesh out motivations, it ultimately feels more like stalling than storytelling. There's little of the dread, curiosity, or moral panic that made earlier episodes so compelling. Without the stakes of the game, what remains is sluggish pacing, predictable interactions, and a lack of meaningful momentum.
Visually and cinematically, the show still maintains its high standards, but a polished surface can't hide a hollow core. Here's hoping the following episodes bring back the edge. As a standalone episode, this opener simply doesn't.
