Squid Game S3 (2025)

Greed won and won big!.

This show peaked at Season 2, and I knew Season 3 (which, in hindsight, feels like Part 2 of S2) was going to crescendo into an ending that might not sit well with many people. But I’m not one of them.

To understand and digest that ending, you have to realize, there are no saints in this story only sinners. Not the rich Americans looking for a new bloodsport, not the organizers or enablers of the game, and certainly not the participants whose greed was so insatiable that even when given the option to leave, they kept voting to continue. (A fatal flaw of democracy: when the number of idiots outweighs the sane and rational.) In hindsight, it was a perfect ending, in my books.

Now to the elephant in the room: man, the Americanization of the entire S3,especially the last 15 minutes of the finale, was an eyesore. The actors playing the "Americans" were terrible. They spoke English, yes, but it felt like a foreign language. I know this was done in preparation for the show's crossover into Hollywood, but I’m still not convinced about what the gringos plan to do with this premise.

All in all, this show had already cemented its place in pop culture history long before this season. It's easily one of the GOATs,one of the finest exports from Korean cinema, and, quite frankly, one of the best-looking shows ever. The production value is top-tier. The cinematography? Top shelf. Every scene popped with colours, literally everywhere you looked. That’s just one of my many takeaways.

And yes, this Season 3 is totally watchable, and fitting, in its own twisted way. I liked it.

Special... Special... show. ✨

7/10.

I watched the first season and loved it — but I held off on season two because almost every review I came across said it was trash. Now, with this latest season getting dragged too, I’m starting to think that might be my cue to jump back in.

I remember when season one dropped, people were calling it overrated and boring — yet I binged it and found it insanely gripping. One thing I’ve come to understand with audiences is this: they love simple, spoon-fed plots. Anything that requires real thinking? They’ll label it “confusing” or “bad.”

These days, once the mob hypes a film, just know it’s probably mid. And when they collectively trash something? There’s a high chance it’s gold. Take Sinners — easy plot, zero mental effort — and they ate it up. But give them something layered and complex, like Tenet or Squid game, and suddenly they’re lost and angry.

Kabul is a solid 6.5/10 for me.

A very nice watch on the aftermath of the west leaving Afghanistan.
I loved how they made it a reality and not try to add some unnecessary scenes or action scenes.
The dialogues were amazing and the series shows us what many Afgans had to go through and honestly how the west tried their best to evacuate lots of fleeing Afgans that worked for them.

Like i said it was a nice watch and note, it's not a war series, so don't expect war scenes, lol

It's a fatal flaw in nature's design, idiots always outnumber genius, and stupidity, always overtake common sense.

Perhaps, it's nature's way ov being sarcastic, who knows. 🤷

You mirrored my thoughts exactly. They were no saints in Squid Game at all, everyone was guilty in one way or another. But what really got me was how the show reflected real life. It wasn't just about the violence or plot twists, the show literally exposed a lot of uncomfortable truths.

The whole idea of watching people suffer for entertainment? We already do that in real life. Reality shows, Nairaland trolling back in the day, Twitter drags, even people posting their pain online just for likes, it's all part of the same system. Squid Game just made it more obvious, more brutal.

And it hit globally because the struggle was universal, debt, desperation, trying to survive in a rigged system. It wasn’t just a Korean story, it was everyone’s story in some form. That’s why so many people saw themselves in those players.

Even the way the show looked, the colours, the childhood games, the creepy masks were all symbolic. They made something dark look playful on the surface, which is exactly how the world works sometimes. We package struggle in ways people can easily consume without feeling guilty.


So yeah, Squid Game wasn't just hype, it said a lot about us. About what we watch, what we ignore, and how far people will go when they feel like they don’t have a choice.

That's why it stuck. It wasn’t just a show. It was a loud, uncomfortable truth wrapped in bright colours.
