Alice in Borderland

Honestly, the first two seasons of Alice in Borderland were incredible. They were so smart, so intense-easily an 8/10. The games were genius, and I was completely invested in the characters. It was a benchmark for the whole survival thriller genre.

But Season 3? It's baffling. It feels like whoever took over the writing just didn't know where to go with the story. The plot feels forcefully pushed and completely directionless, as if they desperately needed a reason to drag the characters back into the Borderland.

It's a chaotic mess that's unsatisfying from start to finish. I'm shocked by the massive drop in quality; it's a complete disaster compared to the brilliance that came before it. This season barely deserves a 2/10. It's a real shame to see a great show end up like this.

What the hell were the directors thinking? How can you give an amazing adaptation with Cast and roles like that in S1 and S2 and completely dropped the literal Hat, when it came to S3 ?

I legit could not feel the magic, the effort that was put into constructing the games, or even the main protagonists' acting skills. It felt like everything from CGI, to creativity of the crew, to the sets, to downright acting skills dropped several pars to give us a half-baked, goo product that fails to pique the enthusiasm.

I was anticipating episode after episode for atleast 30% of the old charm but even Arisu's acting kind of landed like a Potato. The sole purpose of this season seemed to be just that - to create another season.

I don't want more of this nonsene. Please stop guys.

This show is definitely among my 20 favorite shows, ever. It is exciting, it is fun, it is amusing, and it is full of emotions. The thing that I find stranger than the fact that so few people have watched it, is how low its ratings are. Honestly, people what more do you want?! The episodes ratings are so unfair. Each and everyone of them deserve much higher than this; especially the ending (if that is in fact the ending). Season 2 Finale was the best ending possible for the show. However, I do hope that they renew it for a third one because it has a lot of potential.

Anyway, if you're looking for a 16-hour worth of time roller coaster that makes you stay awake for two days, Alice in Borderland is your answer.

Seasons 1 and 2 were absolute bangers. The show thrived on witty gameplay, a pack of maniacs injecting nonstop excitement, clever masterminds outsmarting the toughest challenges, and just the right amount of brutality, thrill, and betrayal to keep viewers hooked. Easily a 10/10.

Then came Season 3... and it completely fell apart. The writing feels shallow and nonsensical, with none of the sharp strategies or thrilling twists that made the earlier seasons great. Instead, we're stuck with a flat female lead and a group of useless side characters dragging the story for six whole episodes without adding anything meaningful.

The first two games had some spark, but after that it was pure disappointment. Out of generosity, I'd give it a 2/10.

Honestly, it's laughable. What's next-Alice in Interborderland$? Whatever it is, don't let these clowns cook again, Spare us the torture and lock the writers out of the kitchen. They've already overcooked the corpse.

The first two seasons are really good. The games are creative and more complex than in Squid Game, with great plot twists, especially in the final episodes of Season 2, which are truly unique and brilliant. Those two seasons gave the story a perfect ending. Unfortunately, Netflix dragged it out with Season 3 just to milk it further, ruining the closure. And even that ending makes it obvious they just want to keep milking it more and more... Even tho the games in season 3 were great, the overall story is not that good at least...

Season 1: 10/8.4 Season 2: 10/8.8 Season 3: 10/7.
