Alice in Borderland (2020)
It begins with a whirlwind of ideas and unexpected twists, but in the second season it started to drag a bit, to the point that I fell asleep with almost every episode. The ending, on the other hand, is another inventive bloodbath. I love this type of ending, and I was surprised to see that it could be innovated quite substantially as well. The Japanese are good, despite their sometimes excessive screaming. They’ve always been.

Season 1 (2020) (S01)
It's got pizzazz, it's fast paced and the visuals work for me. Empty Tokyo looks perfect and grown-up kids who just played games and didn't let their phones out of their hands are dying like on a treadmill. I like the investigative line about who they're playing against. The actors are great. A very well-made project. It borrows some things from Lost, besides the mystery, especially the introductions of some of the characters that show them in the old Tokyo and in a different light than we see them now.
