Critics Consensus

The games reach a grim crescendo in this climactic third season, repeating familiar beats but with a ruthlessness that drives creator Hwang Dong-hyuk's themes home.

Did Squid Game stick the landing? The answer: Well, kinda.

But for all this chaos and apparent disregard for life, this final run manages to find light in the shadows.

For Your Reference Podcast

It’s unfortunate that the very messaging of Squid Game is compromised by the Network’s eagerness to franchise social commentary of wealth and greed.

Rated: 2.5/5

For Your Reference Podcast

Squid Game’s final season delivers surface-level thrills, but Gi-hun’s return feels more puzzling than purposeful. Entertaining enough, but far from the impact of its debut.

Rated: 3.5/5

Double Toasted

This is the most cruel season of Squid Game yet. It really gets into the dark side of humanity more than the previous seasons.

Games are great. However, when you think about the plot, you start to see lots of gaps.

Lacked the games we care about, lacked the ending we deserved. But it still had moments I think everyone can agree were entertaining. The ending left a lot of us confused, but I think there is a possible outcome with a sequel so to speak that works very well for everyone. The message of the show is clear, and for some, hard to digest. Do I wish the ending was better yes, it certainly lacked sense in a lot of way. But I still found the show worth the watch. Just don't expect peak Squid Games of Season 1.

it was great. it wasnt perfect but concluding a show and story isnt easy every character has gotten a perfect and fitting end to their story. I would have liked to see more interaction between in-ho and hwang.

Episode 2 was one of the best TV Media i've ever seen! Can't believe after the Hide and Seek Game and after seeing the Baby the Players still wanted to continue.. After the Jump Rope Game the Players became just evil and doing choices no real Human would do.. Show started getting a bit silly here for me.. Killing a Baby for Money ?! What is wrong with those People.. All Conversations during the final Game are just dumb and unrealistic. VIPs are pure evil wth man and why weren't they killed??? Very random, confusing and underwhelming Ending.. Season had way too many Storylines at the same time, it became confusing at some point. Too many Questions were still unanswered.. they even got more

Better than the 2nd season, definitely. It gets highly emotional, with unexpected twits. It was very enjoyable!
