Squid Game 3: Suicide, other notable events that happened in concluding season

 The third part of the voraciously anticipated Netflix series, Squid Game, debuted on Friday, June 27.

The theme of suicide and self-harm was predominant throughout the third season of Squid Game. Lead character, Gi-hun, a previous winner who returned to the game to ‘destroy’ the organization from the inside, took his own life in the concluding episode of season three.

Moments before taking his own life, Gi-hun said, “We are not horses, we are humans and the humans are...." before jumping off the cliff to sacrifice himself over the baby.

The producers of the show mentioned that season three will be serving as the final part of the series. The series, which peaked in 2021, received predominantly negative reviews from pundits and social media commentators.

Backstory: Squid Game
In 2021, Squid Game, a Netflix original series, gained immediate success following its debut on the movie streaming platform. It was one of the most prominent stories on Netflix, social media commentators and pundits acknowledged the harsh realities of the series and how humans can become heinous when they are met with vicious hurdles. After voraciously anticipating the series for almost four years, the second part of the series was released in December 2024, to a mixed reaction from viewers.

Specifically, movie critics mention that the characters in the second season do not have depth compared to those in the first part of the series.
