A Slap in the Face to Society: 'Squid Game' Season 3 Sets Records with 90% Freshness — and Horror Right from the First Trial
Just two hours in, it’s already hailed as Netflix’s best.
When the world first became obsessed with green tracksuits and childhood games turned deadly back in 2021, few believed that Squid Game could ever top its brutal, brilliant debut. But now, Season 3 hasn’t just lived up to the hype — it’s kicked the door down.
Just two hours after its release, fans and critics alike are calling the final chapter of the saga one of the best things Netflix has ever produced. It landed on Rotten Tomatoes with a fierce 90% Freshness rating, and it’s only gaining momentum.
The Most Ruthless Season Yet
This isn’t just a continuation. It’s a climax. Season 3 is the boldest, most vicious, and most unsparing entry yet. The finale? Not just an end — a guillotine drop. Gone are the tear-jerking sympathies or sentimental nods to tragedy. What’s left is a cold, sweat-soaked terror at watching humanity crumble under the weight of greed.
And it wastes no time. The very first game sets the tone: the red team is armed with knives and ordered to eliminate the blue team in a labyrinthine arena. The blues? No weapons — only keys to unlock doors and try to escape. The result is sickening, savage, and deeply unsettling. And that’s just the opener.
Critics Are Stunned
"A filthy and ferocious end to a savage story."
"A slap in the face to a world where bank accounts trump dignity."
"Shocking twists right up until the very last frame."
This season doesn’t plead for sympathy — it demands that you witness, endure, and reckon with the choices made.
The Numbers Speak Volumes
-
Season 1: 90%
-
Season 2: 83%
-
Season 3: Back at 90%, with many saying it could go even higher.
Fans are raving. Reddit and X (formerly Twitter) are flooded with emotional reactions: people describing the season as gutting, unforgiving, and "the kind of finale that leaves you staring at the wall for an hour in silence."
To say more would be to spoil it — and this is a story you’ll want to feel unfold moment by brutal moment.
