🎬 Squid Game Season 3 – First Impressions
According to an early review by Zoom, the final season attempts to balance intense gameplay with side plots. One criticism revolves around the ongoing storyline of Jun-ho’s quest to find his brother, which some feel takes away from the core of the show—the games. However, creator Hwang Dong-hyuk injects some humor into the island arc and still manages to wrap things up in a way many will find satisfying.
“It may not please everyone, but it gives the closure the series needs,” the review notes. “Despite the ending, it feels like this universe might still have more stories to tell.”
