Director Hwang Dong-hyuk’s vision of a good storyline is nail-biting plot twists soaked in blood, but it surely makes for good television. The third and final season of Netflix’s ‘Squid Game’ picked up right after the events of season 2—in the blood-soaked aftermath of a failed rebellion. People have died, the cowardly Kang Dae-ho is still alive, the main lead Seong Gi-hun is in an emotional hell, and the games continue as planned. Season 3 gains momentum roughly between the first episode and takes you on a ride to more brutal games, bigger moral dilemmas, and heart-wrenching plot twists—definitely not for the weak-hearted. But the end? It felt like chewing a ginger after a wholesome meal. This isn’t the climax we waited for.
Spoilers ahead!
Squid Game Season 3 Brings Deadlier Games And Plot Twists
The final season ties up all loose ends and makes up for how slow and pointless the second season felt. After the rebellion is dead, the contestants are thrown back into the inferno. The first game is the blood-soaked version of hide-and-seek that will leave you at the edge of your seat and biting your nails altogether. The first game brings an end to several contestants and humanity. Our favourite trans character Hyun-ju/Player 120 bid goodbye to her role as a legend she was. The moral dilemmas between the mother-son duo make you pause and reflect and yes, player 222 finally gave birth to a baby girl.
Squid Game Season 3: Seong Gi-hun’s Performance Is Still Top-Tier
The following games couldn’t get any deadlier with Jack and Jill making contestants jump for their lives but the final Knives game brought no surprises whatsoever. Another thing that didn’t change and we couldn’t be more happy about it is the remarkable performance by Lee Jung-jae as Gi-hun. Once drawn in vengeance, Gi-hun went on auto-pilot during the first two episodes until he got someone to root for—the baby. He delivered a smooth performance whether it was jumping on the fast-moving rope with a baby hanging around his shoulders to killing off everyone like a one-man army, his presence makes it harder for you to look away from the screen.

Would we still recommend watching it? Absolutely! It's gripping and well-crafted with unsettling beauty. The cast didn’t disappoint, the story kept us hooked and the emotional gut punches hit right where needed. Squid Game bids goodbye in a darker, bloodier way, but it could have benefitted from a slightly more satisfactory climax.
