Finally binging the first season of Alice in Borderland (2020, Japan) and loving it. Had folks recommending it and glad I'm finally catching up with the second season has arrived.
Three lifelong friends are hiding in a subway bathroom, having accidentally caused a fender bender in downtown Tokyo. After the lights flicker out they discover that they seem to be alone in the city. They soon learn that they must take part in 'games' in order to collect cards if they are to survive for the next three days. Making a mistake in the game could lead to death, so choices matter.
You can see how Squid Games, and themed TV shows & films have influenced this series. It is brutal and I was surprised by some of the scenes. Spoiler warning: Don't get too attached to many of the characters as they might not survive the episode. There is some semi-nudity and violence.
Recommended if this is your type of thing.
