*Warning: Major Squid Game Season Three Spoilers Ahead*

The third and final season of breakout Netflix hit Squid Game finally landed on the streaming service on June 27—and it's been sitting atop the Netflix top ten shows list ever since. I finally decided to dive into Squid Game season three this weekend and man do I have thoughts.

In an unfortunate twist, despite the show sitting pretty in Netflix's top ten, this recent season has an abysmal fan rating on Rotten Tomatoes. (However, I'm not too surprised—Squid Game season two suffered from a similar fate.) But y'all? These "fans" are wrong. My Squid Game season three review? Not only was this season an incredible watch, but it might just be my favorite Squid Game iteration altogether. In fact, I binged all six hour-long episodes in less than two days.

Here, three reasons why Squid Game season three was next-level good—plus, the twist that made me scream so loud that my husband had to come check on me from the other room.
