Squid Games Season 3 Review
The final season of Squid games is here and get ready for some spoilers. Don't say i didn't warn you. So, after a lot of waiting, one of the biggest shows out there, the time finally came. Squid games is a Korean series on Netflix that, out of nowhere, managed to attract a lot of people.
The concept, in case you have no idea what i am talking about, is the following. In today's world, we have some people who are desperate for money, maybe because they were unlucky in life, maybe they were too greedy or made some wrong decisions.
There are some people are monitoring this situation and are looking for these people in order to participate in a series of game and in return, they will earn money. If there only 1 winner of just a few they will basically become millionaires.
The difficult thing, though, is that in these kinds of games, if you lose, you die, so out of the blue, the people are faced with a new reality where they will show their true colors.
So what happened in the last episodes of season 2 is in short that Seong Gi-hun became a player again while Hwang Jun-ho was out and was searching the remote island. As played he had to undergo again the same feelings and human greed and somehow during the middle of the games he did a small revolution, let's say, with some of the players.
This failed but instead of killing him like most of the people who revolted with him, they had him play again. He managed to reach close to the end but the small twist is that 3 people are left. Him, Lee Myung-gi and the child of Kim Jun-hee that the twisted mind of the frontman and the VIPs decided to enlist into the game.
Spoiler alert again, he manages to kill Lee but then instead of being greedy, he basically commits suicide in order for the baby to survive. At the same time the island is discovered but the frontman managed to destroy it with some bombs and save the VIPs as well.
In one of the last scenes, we get to see the Frontman giving the earnings of Seong Gi-hun or to be more precise the remaining money from his first victory to his daughter, informing her that her father had passed away. We also get to see the frontman in his car somewhere in USA, looking at an alley where another member of the Frontman's team, let's say playing a game with a desperate person.
The twist here is that the member is American, highlighting that the whole Squid games thing is universal, that there are other frontmen, that his games happen everywhere and that most likely we may see a Squid Games USA series.
Now to share my point of view as well, i enjoyed season 3, i enjoyed the games and sadness after certain deaths. I didn't like the VIPs or to better say it, their acting, but if you watch Korean shows most of the English-speaking persons are like that, i don't know why though. Also, i didn't expect the twist with the newborn but after that happened, i pretty much expected the ending so, having said that, i wasn't that excited as i was during the other seasons.
Btw i have mixed feelings of the new Squid games series that might come out. Even though there is a lot hated because people thing that it's like the La casa series and they may be correct, i believe that if it's done right it may be interesting. Ofc if we have like 3-4 different Squid game series i gonna end as quite boring i believe. Overall for me season 3 was like a 7/10 though.
Please share your review as well!
