"Let the new game begin..."
And so we enter the final six episodes, a little later than intended... but here we go. I'm glad we got the "previously on", but this follows directly after the dramatic end of Season Two- Gi-hun is traumatised, stunned, unable to move (well, he's handcuffed) and everyone still alive is back in the game... with the prize money now increased because of all the deaths, and all the corpses hung in full view of the players in advance of the first game. Lovely.
Elsewhere, suspicions are beginning to be aroused about Captain Park, who is in close contact with Front Man. No-eul plans proceed apace, ruthlessly and contemptuously wrapping up the organ harvesting operation and giving a blood transfusion. We O negatives are clearly all right proper badasses...
Sub-plots unfold, but there's also much anticipation of the next game, to play out in the next episode. Hide and seek, where the hiders MUST kill a seeker within thirty minutes, and the hiders must survive that long, or escape. And naturally, the script plays the most evil possible mind games with the viewer in whom it chooses to be on which side.
Most interestingly, though, the traumatised Gi-hun is one of the seekers. Can he possibly kill? Regardless, I'm glad to be finally watching this final season. This is a damn good start.
