| Description: |
This is the pair of seasons 2 & 3 of the Korean action/thriller/mystery/horror drama series. Their native title is "오징어게임 시즌" followed by the season number, which translates as "Squid Game Season." I am grouping them because season 2 ends on a cliffhanger and moves seamlessly to season 3.

"Seong Gi-hun, a.k.a Player 456, has re-entered the Squid Game after winning at the conclusion of the previous game. Now armed with the knowledge of what the game is really about, he seeks to save the lives of other players and end the game once and for all. But those good intentions may fall flat in the face of millions of dollars."
MyDramaList (season 3): https://mydramalist.com/771707-squid-game-season-3
"A failed rebellion, the death of a friend, and a secret betrayal. Picking up in the aftermath, the final season finds Gi-hun, Player 456, at his lowest point yet. But the Squid Game stops for no one, so Gi-hun will be forced to make some important choices in the face of overwhelming despair as he and the surviving players are thrust into deadlier games that test everyone's resolve. With each round, their choices lead to increasingly grave consequences. Meanwhile, In-ho resumes his role as Frontman to welcome the mysterious VIPs, and his brother Jun-ho continues his search for the elusive island, unaware there's a traitor in their midst. Will Gi-hun make the right decisions, or will Frontman finally break his spirit?"

These all have edited "soft" English captions; that is, English subtitles are part of the MKV files and the subtitles can be enabled or disabled as you wish.
I downloaded the source videos like "Squid.Game.S02E01.1080p.NF.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264-MrHulk.mkv" & "Squid.Game.S03E01.1080p.NF.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.Atmos.H.264-MARKY.mkv" and extracted the Netflix subtitles from those, then...
- Used a nonlinear video editor to blur or remove English profanity & sexual material (see notes below)
- Used Subtitle Edit (by Nikolaj Lynge Olsson) to find and fix all flagged issues
- Added 0.7 second to each subtitle (where possible) to allow more time to read them and adjusted words/minute to at least 280
- "Softened" all translated subtitled profanity (bastard --> jerk, damn --> darn, bitch --> wench etc.)
- Corrected commonly-found typos, converted many word pairs into common English contractions, and brought together sentence fragments
- Naturalized the English phrasing to retain fluid grammar by reducing sentence-initial conjunctions
- Colored all media, signs, and flashback subtitles to salmon, yellow, and teal respectively
- Used Handbrake to create new MKV files using my subtitles, trimming the horrible Netflix splash screen from the starts and ends
