Viimeisellä kierroksella odottaa jälleen yksi julma koettelemus – mutta tällä kertaa lopputulos on kiinni vain yhdestä pelaajasta. Pelin luoja astuu esiin varjoista. (Netflix)

To be honest, the finale left me a tad disappointed. It confirmed my initial impression of the main character, and I'm almost relieved I didn't end up rooting for him. However, the reveal of the game creator was a real treat; I found myself chuckling at the cynicism of it all. I wish the conclusion had kept that dark, twisted spirit instead of delving into excessive self-reflection and a moralistic tone. Throughout the show, we got a glimpse into the raw nature of the survival instinct. It's interesting how the finale pointedly contrasts this self-preservation with a call for moral values. Nowadays, there are plenty of people quick to proclaim, "I would never...," but they often haven't faced any truly difficult moral dilemma under great pressure. / Lesson learned: If you're considering changing your hair color, think it over carefully. And if you risk your life for a fortune and win, don't be an idiot. ()
Surprisingly, the last episode doesn't close the proverbial scissors, nor does it really say much. Unfortunately, it's more of a showcase for the main character's odd behaviour, and at the very end they can't avoid leaving an open door for a sequel. The ending doesn't take away from the overall complexity and many positions that Squid Game contains, it's just its unfinished final thread and that's a bit of a shame. ()
