The thrill is gone in Squid Game's third and final season (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-reviews/squid-game-season-3-review-netflix-1236300424/)

While the third and final season of Squid Game offers a brutal and bleak conclusion with a focus on the show's anticapitalist message, it has received mixed reviews, with some critics finding it a letdown compared to the first season. Some reviews say that the show's thrills have diminished, becoming too predictable and overly focused on misery and length. Others praise the season's visual and sound design, calling it "staggeringly excellent" and a worthy finale, particularly noting the final game and its stark, brutal setting.
