I don't want to start a new thread for it because frankly I don't think the series is worthy of a thread of its own. Having gotten that out of the way: how the feck did so many not only recommend
Alice in Borderland, but even claim that it's better than Squid Game?
I just finished the first season of Alice in Borderland and I honestly can't think of a single thing it does better than Squid Game. Oh and that's another thing: besides being an East Asian production with death games in the story, the two series have very little in common.
The acting is shite, the writing is bad, the production value is mediocre and every single character is basically an anime character. The death games are also not particularly good. I've heard people criticize Squid Game for much of the same stuff, but with Alice In Borderland you can multiply it by 10.
