Squid Game: Season 1-3 Review

I didn’t have plans of watching season 3 of Squid game this soon but I got tired of the horrible reviews I was seeing everywhere and decided to go find out myself. So today being a Holiday, I decided to put everything aside and dig in. Now let me give you my honest review about Squid Game Season 1 to 3 and then you can decide if you should watch it.

Squid Game is a Korean survival thriller series created by Hwang Dong-Hyuk. In this series, about hundreds of people who were in huge debts all over Korea were given the opportunity to play children’s games for money. The twist in this series is that they weren’t told that in the games they were going to play, it’s either you win or die. Nobody was going to get out alive except the winner.

Even after the players found out that it’s either they win or die, they still chose to play. Yes, that’s how money-crazed the characters in the series were. The games happened in a confined place on an island where it was really hard for people to find. That meant no matter how hard you try to escape as a player, you are still going to end up dead.

Let me begin by talking about the effort which was put into this series. My mind was absolutely blown away by so many things. From props to production to the setting and everything. Squid Game itself is known for the costumes, the setting and the games. It might sound like it’s all hype until you watch the series and see for yourself.

The characters. Oh my, oh my. I told my friend that I won’t be surprised if some of the characters in this series were born purposely for the series. I know it might sound funny but that should tell you how good the characters were. There’s no way you will watch Squid Game and won’t be drawn into it through how the characters behave.

Let’s talk about my favourite thing in this series: the storyline, the twists and unexpected turns. I literally gave a standing ovation for the storyline and the unexpected twists of each season, especially season 3. What?! I was so shocked as to how the writer even thought of that. I believe I’m definitely not the only one who was shocked by how Season 3 turned out. Imagine a baby winning life or death games. Yes, nobody saw that coming.

Aside from how entertaining this series was, I believe I learned so many things. The number one being betrayal. Anyone can betray you at any point in life as far as it benefits them. I was so shocked when at one point in the game, they wanted to kill a baby so they could get more money. Even the baby’s father was involved. I think they really did a great job on this series and season was just worth it. This is a 10/10 for me.
