Netflix’s global hit ‘Squid Game’ has concluded its run with a highly-anticipated third season, and the internet is ablaze with reactions. This season explores the show’s signature themes of power, betrayal, and sacrifice with an enhanced level of intensity and emotional depth. The platform X (formerly Twitter) became a hub for fan feedback upon release, with viewers expressing a diverse range of views.
Across the globe, fans shared their thoughts. Some are celebrating Season 3 as the peak of the series, praising the bold storytelling, intricate character development, and a narrative that isn’t afraid to push boundaries. Others offer a more balanced perspective.
Commenters’ perspectives vary greatly. Some viewers have hailed the season as an excellent conclusion, highlighting the emotional impact and unexpected turns, while others feel it is the weakest among the three. Key elements like the games, character development and the overall message of the show have been scrutinized. The games are brutal, the characters’ arcs are written poorly, and the ending is predictable, said some.
Season 3 picks up after the events of Season 2, with Gi-hun forced back into the deadly game. The stakes are higher, the games more perilous, and the choices more consequential. The return of the Front Man, along with VIPs, and the investigation of Jun-ho add layers of intrigue to the storyline. The series features an impressive ensemble cast, including Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, and Yim Si-wan, with a special guest appearance by Park Hee-soon. Gi-hun will face difficult decisions that will determine his fate.
