I just finished the Squid Game final season. And I think it's a decent ending, and trust me, a decent ending is as good as it gets. I see a lot of people giving negative reviews to the show, stating how the ending was bad. Many are calling the show ending weak, and I disagree.
Now, before I get on with the post. Another Spoiler Alert: I am going to talk about the final season's plot twists and points. So if you have not yet watched the show, I highly recommend watching it.
Anyway, Season 3 starts right where Season 2 ended, with the consequences of the failed takeover attempt by the lead Player 456. He was captured and again forced to play the brutal and torturous games. And season 3 is all about Player 456 as a human. And the overall change he has gone through in the events of this game. We were introduced to him as a bum who can smile at adverse situations. But by the end of season 3, we saw him seeking revenge and murdering someone. And in a last-ditch attempt to save his humanity sacrificed himself.
Another interesting character was the Front Man. A complex character. I liked that the show paid attention and showed us that Front Man indeed was a player who faced similar challenges but chose a very different path. And now is testing Player 456 if he is going for the same choices he made. It's as if the Front man was looking for confirmation on his choice. And that's about it. There's a player 456 and the front man, everybody else is just extra. And I think that's the perfect ending.
While watching the show, I was hoping the baby’s dad would make the sacrifice to redeem himself, letting player456 and the baby win the game, and player456 raising the baby as his own. After he lost his daughter in season 1. That's because I like player456 and would hate for him to lose. But after watching the ending, I appreciated that player456 sacrificed himself to save himself. There is some bloating in the show, but that was unavoidable.
So, to answer the question, did Squid Games drop the ball? The Answer would be NO. The poetic ending do a tragic story. Good Show, Must Watch.

I also finished the final season last night aur mujhe bhi lagta hai ye accha tha. Sabse negative character wo bacche ka baap tha, Player 456 ko marte dekhna sad tha par overall maza aaya.

Saach mein, Baache ka baap ne to haad hi kar di.
But ek cheez notice ki kya aapne koi bhi ek baache ke saath kaisa behave karta hain uske liye humari hate/love unti hi badh jaati hain. Agar baacha na hota to us character ko utna hate shyaad nahi karte. Yehi bolte hi aakhir wo bhi to insaan hain. But jab baacha equation mein aata hain to seedha usee rakshas bolne lagte hain.

I haven't watched the season 3 of Squid Game, but now I'm even more curious. I really enjoyed the first and second season especially with the way player 456 changed, so it's good to hear that they gave his journey a meaningful end. I have seen mixed opinions too but honestly, a decent and fitting ending is better than forcing something overly dramatic. I also love your take on the Front Man. Can't wait to watch the movie and see for myself. Thanks for sharing
