Alice in Borderland is the first Netflix series I've watched and I could say that my first experience was good.
It has a good storyline. Each episode is thrilling but the last one. Some parts were quite cliché but the actors make up for it.
* WARNING: MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS.
Like what I've said, each episode is thrilling but the last one because I find it the most predictable. The 10 of Hearts game was supposed to be the most mind-wrecking as it should "toy with our hearts." However, things went upside down because it was so predictable! I don't know if this is just a me thing but the "Goal game" (idk the exact name anymore) had a more shocking result than the 10 of Hearts.
To summarise:
• The story is good but there are parts that were quite cliché;
• The actors did a great job elevating the series from the typical thriller genre; and
• The last game was a bit disappointing because it's the most predictable (when it should be not).
I'm looking forward for the next season, however, since the final scene tickled my curiosity.
I hope that the 2nd season would be better than the 1st one!
