Squid Game Season 3 is finally out on Netflix, and fans are excited to see what the final season has in store for all the main characters, particularly Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), as he looks to take down the Front Man and the others responsible for orchestrating the deadly games.
With Season 3 now streaming, many fans have taken to the internet and social media to share their reviews and reactions to the final chapter. Don’t worry, this isn’t going to be a spoiler article. Sheesh! But it will shed some light on fans’ early impressions of the latest season.
Well! Things aren’t looking too optimistic for the third season so far, as early reactions have turned out to be highly divisive. While a noticeable section of fans has praised the darker tone and Jung-jae’s incredible performance, many others have criticised the season’s fast pace, rushed storylines, and especially how the show ended.
On Rotten Tomatoes, Season 3 currently holds an impressive “Fresh” critic score of 87% (based on 23 reviews). But that could drop as more reviews roll in over the coming days. However, the audience score on the same platform tells a very different story—it’s sitting at a low 36% “Rotten” (based on over 50 ratings).
It seems critics appreciated the darker tone and bittersweet ending, but fans are far more vocal about their dissatisfaction, particularly with how Gi-hun’s story wrapped up. Additionally, many viewers have expressed disappointment with the character development in this season.
There’s no denying that Squid Game Season 3 will top Netflix’s global Top 10 charts, but its viewership could take a hit due to the ongoing wave of negative word-of-mouth online. We’ll have a clearer picture of the situation in the days to come. Stay tuned for more updates.
