season 3
that was terrible oh my god. i enjoyed the first half, it felt like more of what i wanted which was less squid games. throughout the season as well as season 2 i just felt like they were ppadding for time, like even during the games being played there was so much downtime because they really wanted this to be 3 seasons instead of 2. it sucks
what was the point of having 2 seasons where the detective searches for the island, just to have him say 1 sentence and never get a response nor closure or anything like that !!! what was the point
what was the point of gi-hun wanting to kill t he guy in the beginning, then letting him go, and then wanting to kill him again later? it was just to waste time
what was the point of telling us that no-eul’s daughter died just to tell us that shes actually a live in china 5 minutes later? why did the baby go live with the detective? why are they playing a korean game in LA? why whyy why why i dont understand the point of any of this

i really loved the part where they tell you not to kill the elites and to just play the games because youre a good boy and you do as your told
