Alice in Borderland

"A live action series based off the manga of the same name!"

"Timing couldn’t be perfect, you just binged #squidgame and now looking for a new show. This is it! It gets a bit quirky towards the end but nevertheless great show. 🙌"

"The second season is even better than the first, it gives an even stronger sense of action-packed psychological thriller, further develops the characters and keeps you on your toes!! And since it's often compared to squid game, I would like to say this show is actually better. It's also been said that this second season wraps up what is written in the original manga so a 3rd season shouldnt be expected, but it is netflix so the possibility remains likely based on the high success. Please watch !!"

"Just finished season two up to episode eight for some reason, I think there’s going to be another  season"

"Season 2 is pretty good but all the boring backstory kills the momentum."

"watching season 2 was like watching the film oblivion I hated it until I realized the reason I hated it was because I would have done the exact same thing which is why I ended up falling in love with both of them. pardon my pretentiousness but the scene with the king of spades in the alleyway was the most visceral act of violence in media I have ever seen it felt like it was shot 4K HDR in high frame rate for the sequence. this scene and the series overall is a stomach churning but beautiful piece of cinematic art with profound philosophical implications."

"Just finished up season 1 right in time for the release of season 2. I’ve been wanting to watch this for a while now. I remember it drawing a lot of comparisons to Squid Games which is very true because of the nature of the show. Anybody who liked Squid games should also give this show a chance. "

" Excellent way better than squid games "

"Amazing show. It's intense, emotional, and hard to predict. I also recommend watching with subs because the performances are worth it with original Japanese voices. It's interesting how the main character hardly reaches his potential for any kind of hero trope throughout the season- opposite of what the show might have you think in the beginning. Although he has just enough redeeming moments which keeps the story (and outcome) right above the line of hopelessness. In a nutshell, brutalness will tug on heart strings early on. It's also fascinating how they managed to create more realistic gun play and shooting effects than a lot of American films."

"After watching both seasons, back to back, over the past 10 days, I’m not real sure where I stand with this series. I’d say 3/5…? It has some fun action sequences, and moments of suspense packaged in an interesting concept. But, it’s also heavy-handed, and unafraid to embrace cliches. Overall, I suspect those under 25 would be more gratuitous about this series than this GenXer… and, in fairness, I wasn’t their target audience anyway. "
