Squid Game: Making Season 22025

Squid Game Season 3 is just underwhelming and borderline bad. Some might call it “okay” or “just good,” but honestly, it’s not. When Season 1 ended with that cliffhanger, we all expected Gi-hun to return to the game and try to shut it down. But instead of following that logical direction, the creators basically remade Season 1 and completely sidelined that plot. Hwang Jun-ho, the police officer who was searching for his brother in Season 1, is still searching for him even after the show ends—his entire arc felt like a waste. The new characters in Seasons 2 and 3 don’t leave the same impact as those in Season 1, mainly because there’s no time to connect with them. The makers just tried to stretch the storyline, but it didn’t work at all. It felt like a lazy rehash of Season 1, and every death became predictable because of that. Sure, the finale might make some people emotional—it had some sense of closure—but honestly, combining Seasons 2 and 3, the only episode I liked was the final one. Overall, it’s just meh. They really shouldn’t have stretched the story beyond Season 1.
