    The great and terrible genius of capitalism is its ability to commodify evening, including criticism of itself.

    Sounds like Squid Game. I love the show, but selling merchandise, and going on to have more seasons and spin off defeats the point of the first season.

      They had a cliffhanger and an unresolved plot line. There was always going to be a season 2. The surprise split into 2 small seasons was weird, but after the third the story is pretty much wrapped up.

        I will have to respectfully disagree. Many people say the ending is a cliff hanger but I feel that it is open-ended. But i guess its phenomenal success was too good to pass up and decided to go for more seasons.
