Squid Game Season 3

BIGGEST SCAM OF KDRAMA

The first season of Squid Game was PERFECT. No one can disagree with that fact. We all had to wait years for season 2 to be published only for it to come out as action kdrama with many mistakes that went viral. It had the biggest hype a Kdrama could possibly have, especially overseas and we all hoped for something great. Season 3 is simply the continuation with a different genre. It isn't just action now its a DISGUSTING sad drama. Sad because people dies, but also because a BABY was used to make it exciting. It should not be normalized to have a gun being pointed at a baby.

I understand the message, yes: money turns people into inhumane monsters which would even do that. However it isn't necessary. In season 1 we already saw the extent of human corruption, trying to top it with a baby was too much.

The fight scenes were nice, however many seemed just too similar, kinda repetitive. (and they definitely can't compete with recently published dramas)

Jo Yuri failed as actress and even though she continued to build up hype this drama was just insulting her talent. Visuals were cleary underpresented and it felt like she had one line and just stayed the "pregnant girl" throughout the drama, until she finished that.

Wi Ha Joon did great like in Season 1 - 3 nothing to criticize here. Sadly he sits in a sinking boat that.

Player 333 was so disgusting and contributes to the controversy regarding babies.

Lee Jin Wook's character was nice and I appreciate that at least he got a happy ending, however I'm not fine with the fact that he didn't even get to know his savior, even though she sat right in front of him.

The last thing that entirely destroys this drama are the VIPs. I understand that they had to be changed as they were criticized in both season 1 and 2, but this definitely wasn't it. My deepest hate to all the American actors who failed this great role. Jane Wong did perfectly, she was the only one who portrayed the rich & elegant vibe of a multi-millionare/billionaire. The other ones tried to be funny American dads watching sports and celebrating it. Total failure. Squid game was supposed to be a critic towards the elites especially with that Rothschild-like theme. Failed enormously with S3 VIPs.

The ending is actually fair. Every character got the ending they deserved in some way. However I really hate the idea of an American Squid Game
Overall, it is unfair to give it less than 4 stars, however I could understand a 0.5 rating because that's what it deserved, if we compare with other dramas released this month. Could've definitely spend time watching better dramas. I hope they don't try to expand the Squid Game franchise because they definitely don't deserve further success with this drama.

its just there

felt really anti-climate/not satisfying. they actually didn't need to split this at all but i digress.
idk if its the way i consumed it but this was a chore to watch. the biggest mistake that happened was making us not care abt the contestants in the end. all the ppl that the audience grew an attachment/knew something were dead before the finale. by the last game we had a bunch of ppl who we don't even remember the names. even though they introduced new games it didn't bring anything much to the show. i can't even sympathize with our main character. i like the concept of how the game was ended/destroyed but it didn't feel satisfying with the amount of deaths. well what can i say, end of a franchise

Boring, disappointing, and all of the above

First things first it was all predictable. You could predict almost everything while watching except the fighting sequence. The ending was spoiled by the director before the airing saying it is going to be a sad ending which already gave it away that Gi hun will die. The story was disappointing It felt like they just wanted to shock people by killing everyone. There was too much drama, especially with the kid. Netflix made it feel more like a money-making show than a good story. Season 3 was a complete disappointment to me. And I for sure knew this would happen. Felt like it was forcefully made and stretched cuz of the popularity. They should've just ended it after 1 season.

Guys please save your energy & time and don’t waste it on this!

Don't waste your time

I don't know how ot happened but I started this with zero expectations and still ended up disappointed.

The first season of Squid Game was one of the best ever it was near perfect and it would've had they not continued the story.

Season 2 introduced a very interesting cast of Characters it was funny and seemed to have some potential, but then, nothing happened most of the runtime wasted on pointless conversations and repetitive voting scenes, I kept waiting for the fun games to start and then it ended and nothing really happened.

I only watched season 3 because I didn't want to leave the series unfinished but maybe I should have, 6 hours of my life wasted nothing to show for it, the ending left me feeling empty, unsatisfied and angry. Such aa great cast and one of the worst storyline I ever sat through.

Please if you haven't watched this season yet, just don't,you won't be missing anything.

some series are just not meant to have multiple seasons

nothing will unfortunately ever compare to the first season.

the season just feels dragged out and the characters werent even interesting anymore bc their actions and deaths became predictable

yes it was basically a new set of games but because the main character stayed the same, it became pretty boring and annoying

i think it wouldve been better if they actually just put out a new set of games and player

and its just bad for me bc at the end... nothing was still resolved... like the cops didnt even find the island and the games are still going on for the next season (probably)

and like its just weird that the creator made this thing to shed light on how the division of rich and poor is and the greed for money yet i know damn well the reason this season got an addition and will probably be dragged out more is because it makes more money for them.. just ironic.

it really wasnt for the art anymore at this point, they're just greedy to keep the fame of squid games going lol

Embarrassing and very disappointing sequel due to abysmal script

Maybe the screenwriter and director should have asked for help when suddenly in the position to come up with a sequel.

The continuation of the rather ingenious (because it works on so many levels) Squid Game is embarrassingly bad and sloppy written. Hardly anything makes sense, too much is just for justifying really bad script ideas. Like the utilisation of an infant. Who would let a very pregnant woman participate in the game - unless you have no ideas apart from making a newborn the centre of attention and of the fight to survive (and the reason for self sacrifice of course). And more children in general the driving force behind the motivation of characters. Well. it's like children in advertising - it always works. Here it is absolutely despicable, uninspired, and quite frankly pathetic.

Too many things didn't make sense: The motivation and obsession of the main character? It's not as if he is much interested in anybody else before the game, right? Couldn't figure out if it's his sense of justice or his hurt pride or what else that's making him that philanthropic and determined to end the game. And for that much money he couldn't find a bunch of people a little bit, well, make that a lot more professional? How could he expect to get away with that "tooth transmitter" in an obviously high tech environment? The insurgence of a few against dozens and dozens of armed minions? Sounds like a good idea? I could go on and on.

Of course it had moments. Especially liked the hiding game with the three different keys for instance. And I can be quite lenient toward (minor) plot inconsistencies - up to a certain point that is. But overall I was really annoyed by the lack of logic and common sense (that scene where that moron breaks into the house of the suspicious captain, anyone?) Not even the truly stellar cast could save this.

And if you thought the VIP scenes in the first season were cringeworthy - they are even more superficial and superfluous in the third season, not to mention the even worse acting.

The ending destroyed the impact

Watching 1-5 episodes of the series was a huge emotional ride, the story basically shows how far people will go for money. I know that message was portrayed for the series in general, but even when a baby is involved, some people still look for themselves. The dying of each character was also really emotional, not like crying emotional but a sudden shock, some deaths are expected tho, the way the story goes. But overall for me, it was a great emotional rollercoaster. The last fight between 456 and 333 was intense, a father who was about to kill his own child for money. And the twist was just sad, and 456's death was the one that hit the hardest, because since squid game was known for this main character. His death was loud silence. Even the cringey VIP's were speechless, as well as the viewers. Did i expect it? Not really. Now let's talk about the ending, the No.11 soilder got great news about her daughter, and the guy escaped and his daughter was healed. The most irritating thing was that, we got no major questions answered. We know the chairmen once was a player now, even though that was already known if you use the internet. And that's about it, it's just alot of questions unanswered again. People were expecting answers with this season, yet nothing. And that alone is bad enough there is another mess. After the chairmen deliver 456's belongings to his daughter. I expected something of a twist with the baby or something that can be more exciting. And then random people in America is doing the freaking flipping card game. As if nothing even happened this whole season. The impact of the whole show just went downhill with that ending, i didn't even had time to feel abit empty about 456's death. Also, what i want to say now is just my opinion but, why do VIPs talk like disney characters? That's just cringe for me, just me tho. Well, overall the ending ruined the whole feel of the show.

Not every story needs a sequel.

Just like what Seong Gi Hun should've done, Squid Game should've taken its winnings while it was on top, left things as they were in season one, and never looked back.

Season two and three (they honestly should've just been combined into one season) focused too much on casting famous faces and not enough on giving these new faces some depth. With the exception of one new character who made an impression (iykyk), these two seasons lacked compelling characters with relatable or emotionally impactful backstories. Unsurprisingly, well-written characters are the heart and soul of any good story. Everything here was surface-level, and as a result the entire story suffered. Why should we be emotionally invested in these characters' well-being and mourn their deaths if we don't even know who they are as people?

This season gave too much screentime to the VIPs — they were the worst characters and actors in this entire show. I don't know how it was possible, but they managed to come off as both stiff and cartoonish simultaneously. They made an insufferable season even more unbearable with their presence.

And I'm just a viewer, so the writers should know better than me: more brutal deaths + crazier obstacle courses ≠ good. Bigger don't always mean better. I am tired of these repetitive sequels that recycle old plots from the originals only to give them disappointing "twists" for the sake of pumping out new content and easy cash grabs. A lot happened between season two and three, and at the same time, no progress was made at all. Season 3, Episode 8 should've hit me harder, but instead, I was left feeling regretful for the time I've wasted here. Because seriously, after all the struggles and sacrifices, what was it all for?

I don't know who to blame — the writer, Netflix, or just capitalism as a whole — but Squid Game ironically became one of those greedy players in the game who foolishly risk it all by gambling for more... only to end up losing everything. Money really is the root of all evil.

It is unfortunate that while Squid Game season one started off with a bang, season three ended with a whimper.

Season 1 leaves you wanting more. Season 2 makes you regret asking for it.

Season 3... how do I even begin to review this?

First of all, don’t worry — I won’t go into spoilers. If for any reason I do mention something spoiler-y, I’ll make sure to give a warning.

So, here’s the deal.
When I don’t like how a series ends, I try to remind myself that it’s partly my own fault — that the show suffered under the weight of my expectations. And I know this series is full of plot holes, unrealistic situations, contrived character development, laughable explanations, and a whole load of “shock the viewer” moments. It feels overly commercial at times.
Do I sometimes wish for an ending wrapped in a pretty pink ribbon? Yes.
Do I know better by now? Also yes.
Should I just go watch a Disney movie next time? Probably.

If you enjoy a story- and character-driven narrative with incredible acting, you’ll love it.If you require an explosion every minute to stay entertained — you’ll love it too.If you’re looking for something darker, something that leaves a knot in your stomach and makes you walk away questioning the nature of humanity — this might be for you.
However, I did feel that the overall story execution was underwhelming — especially the ending. Not as bad as Season 2, but... yeah.

My Feelings, in %:
100%: Yup, the ending sucked. I didn’t like it. At one point, I thought we were heading for a Westworld-style twist — and, well… they went for it.
90%: There was no way this series was going to end in a way that satisfied me. Good and evil, greed and justice, loss and gain — they exist side by side and can’t be cleanly separated. I’m sorry. I, too, want to live in a fairy tale where the hero wins and the villain disappears forever.
60%: Every 30 minutes: “Maybe I should reread 1984. Or stare at a wall. That might be better.
30%: I’m still a fan... but honestly, it could’ve ended with Season 1.
10%: Do we need a spin-off? Or is this just turning into a money-making machine recycling the same story?
cough yes cough

Anyway, I’m off to emotionally recover... or rewatch Season 1. Whichever comes first.
That’s all I can say.
