If you thought season 2 is bad… then get ready to get disappointed even more… I'm sorry but #SquidGameS3 is absolute TRASH… it lost everything it had going for it… I'm so triggered… plus the ending is just infuriating…

Yet, the ending was met with major backlash, as netizens dubbed it “sh*tty,” saying that after watching three series, the finale didn’t seem to actually solve any of the problems that had been building through the narrative.

In particular, the ending saw Hollywood A-lister Cate Blanchett appear and teasing what could be a US spin-off of the show.

Netizens hit back at the decision, claiming it was just milking the series and going against the OG idea of what the show was meant to be about, playing into consumerism and carrying on to make more money from the franchise.
