Just finished the second season Of Alice in Borderland, which is a Japanese Netflix production based on a manga of the same name from 2010:
Alice in Borderland (Japanese: 今際の国のアリス, Hepburn: Imawa no Kuni no Arisu) is a Japanese suspense manga series written and illustrated by Haro Aso. It was first serialized in Shogakukan's shōnen manga magazine Shōnen Sunday S from November 2010 to March 2015, and later moved to Weekly Shōnen Sunday, where it ran from April 2015 to March 2016. source
I have talked about this series a few times in the past. If you have never heard of it, it's like something saw, cube, hunger games etc, with it's own very unique spin.
So, after finishing the second (and probably last) season I must say it was worth my time, as it was a show I thoroughly enjoyed. Dunno if the manga fans are happy with the whole adaption, but personally I can't think of anything negative to say. Netflix pulled it off nicely with this one, and even the visuals were on par with Hollywood. I'd prefer if there was a more straight forward and clean ending, but with the whole premise being as is, it would be quite tough to provide one!
My final rating is a solid 8.5 /10. If you are looking for something good to s watch on Netflix I highly recommend it.
It's 16 episodes total which makes it perfect for a binge watch. My friend @urun will be disappointed though as there's not much gayness and political correctness :( There's a trans protagonist though although the actor is actually a biological woman... Racist!
I also just found out there's a mini anime version of the story, I ll probably give it watch next year and let you know what I think about it!
