That said,Squid Gameseason 2’s best episodesnearly match the quality of their season 1 counterparts.
But sadly,even the later installments never reach the heights of season 1’s “Gganbu.”
“Gganbu” is the sixth episode ofSquid Gameseason 1, which sees the characters playing Marbles.
Several prominent players perish during this installment, including Ali Abdul and Ji-yeong.
It’s easily the most emotional chapter ofSquid Game, and it’s the highest-rated onIMDb.
Season 2 doesn’t beat it, though it comes close.
In general, many of theimportant players inSquid Gameseason 2survive through the finale.
While Thanos is an entertaining character, he’s very much a villain.
By contrast, Jung-bae’s fate is quickly followed by the credits rolling.
Squid Game is a South Korean series released in 2021 about financially struggling individuals who are invited to participate in a series of children’s games. The competition offers a lucrative prize but comes with perilous consequences, as the players soon discover the lethal stakes involved in each round.
Fortunately, that leaves plenty of room to top the emotions of “Gganbu” inSquid Gameseason 3.
WithSquid Gameseason 3being the series' last hurrah, it kind of needs to.
This means ramping up the stakes and heightening the emotions as it approaches its conclusion.
With so many great characters still in the Games, this should be easy to accomplish.
