Hot take: the Japanese sci-fi series "Alice in Borderland" is a better version of Squid Game (and came out first!)
Netflix's "Alice in Borderland" Season 2 dropped at the end of 2022 and we need to talk about all the wild things that happened. The show is centered around main character Arisu who's stuck in a dystopian world in which the majority of the planet has suddenly disappeared, and he and the other survivors have been thrust into death match-style games in order to fight for their lives. Season 2 ups the stakes, teasing a potential way out.
Needless to say, this is a SPOILERS filled reaction episode, so if you have not seen the show and care about watching it for the first time, we encourage you to catch up on the series and then listen to this episode :) From what we think about the shocking ending, to pondering about how Chishiya's platinum blonde hair could stay so perfect the whole time, we talk about everything that jumped out at us this season.
If you're all caught up, we'd love to hear what you thought about the season/series and what surprised you the most. Let us know in the comments!
(TW: This episode contains discussion about sexual violence depicted in the show. If you don't want to listen to this part, please skip 17:35 - 25:10.)
