You're right that it makes you think. I think in all 3 seasons they've presented so many tough situations that challenge the characters on their morality, and you always imagine how you would act in their shoes. In this third season, my favourite part was the hide and seek game. I thought that was the most intense part of the whole show, rivalling even the Mingle game from season 2 and the glass bridge from season 1. The way they filmed the hide and seek was so well done and they managed to keep tension the entire episode. They just kept switching very seamlessly between different characters, showing what each of them is doing. And lots of tragic and dramatic moments happened of course. Of course it is hard to be on the red team if you're not someone who is cut out for killing, but being on the blue team is definitely harder, because trying to avoid coming across any red team person for the entire 30 minutes when there are no real hiding spots around is almost impossible. And for the exit as we've seen 3 keys are required, so the blue team people have to stick together, so that trio of trans woman, pregnant woman, and older woman had the right idea (luckily they all had different keys too). I think by the second half of the season unfortunately there weren't many characters that we care about are left, and the inclusion of the baby made the whole thing feel a bit too cliche (whenever a baby is involved, you know there's an almost certainty it won't die). I still liked the games they played, it was intense, but by those stages most characters you don't care about, and so you feel nothing when they die. Overall I think the conclusion felt realistic enough, even if the final game felt kind of predictable and the outcome felt a bit forced. I don't feel that the ending was badly done, but I also feel that some situations and character fates could've been handled better. Overall I've enjoyed the whole series and it's one of my favourite series to date.

I agree that the hide and seek game was very tense. Most of the games served the dramatic function of revealing the true nature of the players, how self-serving (or not) that they were. That was especially so in hide and seek. The inclusion of several underdeveloped characters in the final grouping did diminish some of the drama there, but additional sympathetic characters would have distracted from what was destined to be the last two (adult) players standing. The outcome really depended on what message the show ultimately wanted to deliver. I think it was fitting in that respect, though the intended message is one that I hope is not true. The show ultimately seems to say that you can't beat the system, and that retaining your humanity is noble if you manage it... but won't do you any good. SPOILERS if anyone else is actually reading this. Arguably the best ending was given to No-Eul (#011) who survives, has a connection to someone on the outside (park art guy & daughter) and is left with at least the hope of finding her own child. She achieved her circumstances through being ruthlessly brutal, smart, and very lucky. The sole morally good decision she made was to help a sick child. Otherwise she was a remorseless killer and broken person. You could say she was sympathetic, to a degree, but she made a living killing innocent people. She was fully complicit in all the evils of the game. So, some true innocents survive (baby, sick child), artist dad survives due to luck, and No-Eul survives because she is a skilled soldier and remorseless killer. Nobody survives by being morally or ethically upright. I don't know if I would have enjoyed it more or less if someone with moral character had survived. The story as it was told, though, is very bleak and offers no real hopeful message. And yet somehow, it manages to be less bleak than The Last Of Us s2.
