We still remember the entire promotional campaign made by Netflix around season 2 of Squid Game -In particular by occupying the Champs-Élysées. A bon Outrancière operation? Not really when you know that the Korean series remains one of the most viewed programs on the streaming platform. And from afar. His return therefore deserved that we make a whole pataquès. Except that. Except that this same season was a huge disappointment.
Repetitive, not very inspired and full of big strings, this return of Squid Game felt very good the more than creative economic call. Letting us fear the worst for season 3. Especially since we quickly realized that it was actually a plot cut in half, turned in one go, such as parts 1 and 2 who did not want to be named like this. Again, for a purely artistic purpose of course. Now, what to expect from the rest of a story, the first half of which was so weak? Even Netflix seems to have taken the measure of the general disappointment, having only communicated, this time, on the release of this season 3.
The story therefore resumes where we stopped, with the failure of the rebellion led by player 456-Gi-Hun (Lee Jung-Jae). The games continue between the survivors while the Man (Lee Byung-Hun) resumes his place as a master of ceremonies. Hwang Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon) is still looking for the island.
There are only dummies that do not change their minds
On these bases, it did not seem obvious that we were going to hang on to this return of Squid Game. We launched the first episode with the ball in the belly to go on five episodes (out of the six that make up this season) about an hour. Time is long when you revive the same things again and again.
It cannot be said if it was part of a plan developed in advance by the creator Hwang Dong-Hyuk, if it is miracle, or both at the same time, nevertheless, we must know how to recognize our wrongs. This season 3 goes to a crazy speeddevouring with the same delicacy as when we discovered the series at the time.
As if Dong-Hyuk had dragged things the previous season to achieve a certain objective of episodes, suddenly all the intrigues take a step forward, in the right direction. Starting with the main subject, the tests. Finally novelty! And we are not talking about a slightly modified version, but you will never play hide and seek again. Yes, we know that we were treated to a few surprises in season 2, but they remained thin.
We admire the big work done by the teams loaded with the sets to offer us paintings that really change our perception of space. We find All tension and sadism That we loved, while pushing the cursor on the worst and the best of the human soul in the company of the participants. Each new game turns out to be a festival of Cornelian choice and puts our nerves. And as such, Episode 2 is likely to make an impression.
Characters at the heart of Squid Game
In season 2, the quantity did not necessarily make the quality and certain protagonists brought nothing particularly innovative to the story, except for twists and turns that three episodes earlier … because we had already seen that before. With the purification and weight of the dead, whether in the giant piggy bank or in the conscience of each, we feel that this season 3 of Squid Game puts more emphasis on the emotions of survivors.
The result is a real feeling of belonging to this group, at least for the identified casting. Direct consequence, each loss is noticed and remarkable. The drama is constant and the show still likes to shower our hopes as much. We may know that everyone will not get out of it, we undergo each death as a heartbreak. Are these always the best who leave first? Maybe, maybe not, but the impact on the series is major.
Obviously, subtlety has not returned to the heart of Squid Game As if by magic and the gentiles are always excessively nice, where the bad guys compete in cruelty and apathy. We immediately know who we have to love, hate and it is all weapons that the screenwriter will use to come and break our little hearts or revolt. We do not hide that we openly insulted our screen at times, taken in the emotion of a sequence. And that affects participants as much as the characters of secondary intrigue.
Large strings as deadly weapons
In season 2 of Squid Gamewe see the big strings and we sigh when the creator begins to shoot them with a false air of malignant idea. In season 3 of Squid Gamewe see the big strings and the series is gaining in shooting them, for a result which makes almost constantly fly. The difference between the two? The previous season used the stratagem to attract the spectator, where here it nourishes the intrigue and the characters. We feel that we are watching again a series that wants to tell something-always the same anti-capitalist spirit, of course-and no longer brush us in the direction of the hair.
When the balance between the gentiles and the bad guys becomes a little too unbalanced, we can Always count on a deus ex Machina. Even the most predictable or exaggerated events are appreciated because they appear almost logical, natural, and welcome. We take a lot of fun going from worse to worse, imagining everything that could be bad then and the twisted ideas that we reserve for us … until the final outcome.
A conclusion that it is still difficult to predict, in the absence of the last episode at a time when we write these lines, but we would not be surprised that this season 3, announced as the last, finally hides a season 4 or derivatives. It is well known, in the end, it is anti-capitalism that wins.
