Finally finished!

I started watching Alice in Borderland Season 2 just yesterday, and wow, I wish I hadn’t put it off for so long! I watched the first season as it was coming out, but I was hesitant to dive into the second one because I thought it was going to be the last season. I didn’t want it to end, so I waited. Then I find out there’s going to be a THIRD season? OMG, I’m so HAPPYYYYYY!

This season is seriously amazing. I love how it dives deeper into the characters’ backstories and develops their arcs even further. Arisu and Usagi really grow as they face all these insane challenges in Borderland. The flashbacks are a great touch, giving you more insight into what drives them. And then there’s Chishiya—he’s definitely the love of my life! His character is so complex; he’s charming, manipulative, and super smart. One minute he’s helping out Arisu and Usagi, and the next, you’re wondering if he’s playing them for his own gain. It keeps you on your toes, and I love that about him.

I really liked how the plot kept raising the stakes with each game. The games are not just about physical challenges; they also test mental strategies and trust among the characters. There’s a lot of tension and emotional weight, especially when you see the characters pushed to their limits. I started watching at 11 p.m. and couldn't stop until I finished the whole season!

As for the ending, I wasn’t totally in love with it at first, but now that I know there’s a third season, I feel way better about it. The Queen of Hearts was absolutely SERVING CUUNT! She’s such a villain, but honestly, you can’t help but admire her style. But let’s be real—FUCK Niragi! Both figuratively and literally! I can’t stand that guy. He drives me insane every time he shows up.

That said, I did notice some plot holes here and there. Some of the game rules felt inconsistent, especially in the Jack of Hearts game. It was a bit confusing how some players could trick others without any consequences. And while the concept of Borderland being a sort of limbo is interesting, the reason behind why certain characters are chosen to play feels a bit random.

Overall, though, Season 2 of Alice in Borderland is just as gripping as the first. The twists, the character development, and the intense storytelling keep you hooked. I can’t wait for the next season—bring it on!
