Squid Game Season 3 Review: Viewers Described it as a ‘Heartbreaking’ Watch
The Internet is going crazy over the new release. Netflix is back with yet another season of Squid Game with a lot more complex plot this time. What’s the Internet saying? And what’s the final verdict?
Squid Game season 3 was released on Netflix on June 27 after much anticipation. Season 2 was released last year on December 26. The six-month gap between the two releases left fans in an emotional dilemma about what would happen further in the show because season 2 ended on a significant cliffhanger. The ending of Squid Game season 2 was full of tension, emotionally wrecking and raised curiosity in fans. Many prominent players including Gi-hun, 001 (Frontman disguised as 001), Jun-hee (the pregnant player) and a few others were still alive at the end. This sparked various thoughts and imaginations about the future development of the show.
Tense Environment of the Game
Season 3 proceeds with the forced return of the players into the game with increased brutality. This time the game sequence feels much more ruthless and bitter. The game sequence consists of Hide and Seek, Rope Jump, etc. where a small mistake results in life altering consequences.
Complicated Choices with Lives at Stake
This season didn’t only showcase violence but also tested the morality of the players with complex choices. Crossing the levels and moving further in the game increased the survival guilt of Gi-Hun. Jun-Hee, Geum-ja, Hyun-ja and others faced a great play of conscience.
The Heart-Wrenching Climax
The climax divided the fans into two sections. The first section finds it emotionally moving whereas the rest feels it’s deeply haunting and traumatic. Gi-Hun’s sacrifice for Jun-Hee’s newborn left fans emotionally vulnerable. He chose to save the child he barely knew without considering the merciless outcome. Viewers all over the globe are appreciating this side of Gi-Hun and the same factor makes the season a success.
Final Verdict
Even after the mixed reactions of the fans, the gripping nature of the show draws maximum attention. It’s not perfect though. Some parts might feel a bit rushed and extremely horrific. The show ends in a thoughtful yet very disturbing way but is successful in carrying forward the legacy of the previous seasons. So, if you’re watching Squid Game season 3, get ready to ride the roller coaster of emotions, twists, pain and unconditional bonds.
