Squid Game 2021

this was such an interesting take on a horror genre series and it was so so good right up until the last episode. the great big reveal at the end was meh and then the main character goes and makes a dumb decision that goes against what he's been fighting for literally the entire show. (when he decides to play the game again instead of getting on that plane and being there for his daughter like he's been saying he would the whole series.)

the major switch up in the final episode made the series feel like it wasn't cohesive. it just didn't fit and that made it a little disappointing, especially after the way this show plays on your emotions and really gets you invested into each of the character's personal stories.

@withadventure I had the same complaint about the main character's behavior at the end. His ego was still his first love. My SO pointed out, "Money doesn't change people."
