Netflix's most successful series ever, which has captivated millions of fans globally, makes its thrilling return today (Friday, 27th June).

Rocketing to the top of Netflix's charts in 2021, the enthralling psychological thriller has taken three years to craft its eagerly awaited sequel.

Eager viewers are on edge as they await the conclusion of the story, with the final six episodes of Squid Game available this weekend.

The TV spectacle is set to be a must-watch as Seong Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae) re-enters the fray for more lethal games after his previous rebellion fell short.

Hwang Dong-hyuk's creation, a South Korean tour de force of tension and heart-wrenching drama, has been lauded for its powerful messages and intricate characters, with season three promising to deliver the same impact, reports the Mirror US.

Since its debut, Squid Game has garnered acclaim from both audiences and critics.

USA Today's Kelly Lawler commented on the first series: "There is a visceral, primal, can't-look-away feeling to the nine-episode series, which traffics in gore but also deep psychological horror and disturbances."

Kristen Maldonado described it as "a masterful show that truly changed the game in storytelling."

Regarding the second instalment, John Rocha from The Outlaw Nation remarked: "An electric, sophomore season that evokes Season 1's greatness while adding new levels of tension, danger, stress, mystery and terror.

"The acting, direction, set design, and writing are top notch and the new games will leave you cheering...and screaming!"

A glowing review from an enthusiast proclaims: "Squid Game is an unforgettable show. It's thrilling and suspenseful in every way.

"This amazing show is very addicting and emotional and keeps you hooked throughout the series."

Fans eagerly awaiting to see if Squid Game's concluding season meets expectations can breathe a sigh of relief as early reviews indicate the final six episodes definitely hit the mark.

Screen Rant has described the last chapter as its "darkest season yet" and reassures viewers they won't be left wanting.

Their verdict reads: "With high-octane games and a compelling story that picks up where season 2 left off, Squid Game season 3 is a powerful sendoff to the popular Netflix thriller.

"The season stays true to its fundamental themes and characters, delivering a finale that's as captivating as it is foreboding.

"Thanks to its unflinching approach to the difficulty of the final [games], the show creates effective final episodes whose influence will echo long after its closing minutes."

Once you dive into the final instalment of Squid Game, you'll find it impossible to stop watching, so clear your schedule for a Netflix marathon this weekend.
