The third season of "The Squid Game" has been viewed over 60 million times in three days

The world of Netflix is once again riding the waves of a record-breaking series — Season 3 of “Squid Game” captured more than 60 million viewers in just its first three days, reports variety.com. This figure has not only become one of the platform’s greatest achievements, but it has also placed the series among the top 9 most popular non-English-language projects in Netflix history. Interestingly, the top two spots are also held by the first and second seasons of “Squid Game.”

Such performance for the third season demonstrates that the interest surrounding the series remains high. However, the season finale has sparked much debate among fans and critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the season’s overall rating stands at 50% — considered rather low. On IMDb, viewers gave an average score of 7.6/10, while the final episode received 6.8/10.

Critics have expressed varied opinions about the script choices and character development in the finale. Some praised the sharp plot twists and dynamics, while others noted that the way events wrapped up in the finale, meaning the logical conclusion of the story, did not meet their expectations, and the directing was not up to par. Some viewers, on the other hand, appreciated the show’s fresh approach to real-life issues and its sustained public interest.

“Squid Game” has become a true global phenomenon for Netflix. The third season has retained its reputation even in competition with other projects, and the new viewing records and debates about the finale have made it a hot topic again. In the coming days, official statements from Netflix management and the creators of the show, as well as details about new projects, are expected.

One thing is clear: “Squid Game” has captivated the global audience and remains at the center of worldwide trends. No matter how much the finale is debated, the series has become a clear triumph not only for Korean cinema but also for the entire global media industry. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
