Netflix's ”Squid Game” Season 3 receives mixed reviews from overseas media... ”Shocking ending in the first former”

Season 3 of the global hot topic "Squid Game" has been released worldwide, with overseas media giving it mixed reviews.
The Netflix series "Squid Game" Season 3, which was released on the 27th, is
Ki-hoon (played by Lee Jung Jae), who lost his closest friend in the game he rejoined with the goal of losing his friend, and the front man (played by Lee Byung Hun), who entered the game undercover while keeping his identity a secret.
The story depicts the final fate of the participants who survived the brutal game. The American daily New York Times reported that "Season 2 or Season 3"
"There has to be something that will surprise the viewers," he said. "The process in which Ki-hoon solves his fate is not contrived, and it doesn't provide the tension that was lacking in season 2.
However, the type of characters that originated in Western movies and war movies, which have a long history, are more linear and predictable," he said, adding, "Especially the search for the island by Junho (played by Wi HaJun)
"It remained the most pointless plot until the end. The masked VIP scene was just a cartoonish plot device and had no meaning."
"Director Hwang Dong-hyuk is still as good at directing action as ever," he said.
Variety said, "Netflix's most-watched series in history, 'The Squid Game,' has come to a brutal end.
"The final season is also inconvenient and violent, but it feels more like an extension of Season 2 than an entirely new story."
He continued, "Season 3 will be overdue for its repetitive game structure and lack of new characters.
"It's less spectacular than the previous two seasons," he said, but "it's still worth watching due to several compelling developments."
The film industry magazine Hollywood Report commented, "It gave a moment of thrill.
"The tflix hit ended with an unsatisfying ending," he said, "with VIPs appearing, weird and awkward dialogue delivery, and an attempt to convince viewers, but without the tension of the squid game."
It's as if the VIPs thought that if they shouted loudly that 'it's getting more and more interesting,' the viewers would believe them."
He also said, "Director Hwang Dong-hyuk has hidden several plot twists," and "The surprises and emotions will be short-lived."
"It is a very sad and long-running film," he said. "However, it also looks at how to justify the unspeakable cruelty behind what appears to be democracy, sometimes with a specific and sharp perspective."
The UK's The Guardian called it an "incredibly shocking ending" and said, "The brutality has gotten worse, the violence has become relentless, and the satire has all but disappeared.
The participants slowly turn into remorseless killers. It feels more like simple spectacle than a poignant message."
He continued, "Rather than being as elaborately constructed as Season 1, it feels like a loosely progressing story.
"It feels like a tale of a tragic past," he said, "leaving the impression that the film has transformed from a satirical drama into a traditional action thriller."
Of course, it has also been well-received. Time magazine wrote, "The final season returns to its original brutality.
Coriander praised it as "an overwhelming finale that maximizes all of its strengths and shows even more."
The Financial Times said, "The fast-paced plot and sharp direction make it just as addictive and immersive as ever," while Bloomberg said, "
"It's a series that asks questions about what's left of our humanity," Decider explained. Decider also commented on the ending of the season, "Season 3 contains the most shocking plot twist yet.
