Alice in Borderland’s second season is a thrilling battle for survival with a surprising amount of humor, considering its bleak setting and a first season devoid of laughs. Go to Full Review Austin Burke Austin Burke/Flick Fan Nation Dec 23, 2022

Season two continues the trend of creativity and hard-hitting emotions. Our characters are out for answers, and the obstacles they face are beyond entertaining. Fans will be satisfied. Go to Full Review James Marsh South China Morning Post Dec 23, 2022
3/5
Sold on being action-packed and high concept, the action fizzles out as the angry young protagonists learn the importance of engaging with society. A perspective to be encouraged, of course, but a letdown for viewers who have come this far. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 14, 2026 This second season raises the bar for action with even more brutal games and impeccable production, but suffers from excessive melodrama. The pacing is disrupted by repetitive philosophical speeches amidst the competition, and some characters survive absurd injuries, excessively breaking the suspension of disbelief. The ending is divisive, but it ties up the central mystery well and concludes the journey satisfactorily. See more Lilla Roxna D @RT39444121 Jun 23, 2026 Follows up the first season well, still is able to make the viewer glued to the screen just like the first season. The higher stake games bring a new intensity into the show which I absolutely adore. I loved it just as much as the first season. See more Hiken N @Hiken May 4, 2026 Season 2 takes all the good bits of the past season and throws them away. All the fun characters established in Season 1 are separated and sent on their own journey to clear the Face Card Games. With smart characters like Ann wasting the entire season doing nothing. To make matters worse, none of these new super-dangerous games are any good. The spade games are designed for physical tests, and the King of Spades game is just a guy with unlimited guns. Some of the other games are shown to us in a montage, which is disappointing. The main appeal of this show is how our protagonists solve a problem. Which we see way less compared to last season. The very last game was absolutely terrible. It's long, it's boring, and it's not fun to watch. See more Luke E. @AuLukey Feb 15, 2026 Tons of action and great acting See more Jose N @soyjosenieves Jan 7, 2026 La trama es intrigante y brutal, con juegos bien construidos que mantienen la tensión constante. El apartado visual es decente, los personajes son interesantes y evolucionan a lo largo de la historia. Es una serie que no teme ser oscura y logra enganchar de principio a fin, convirtiéndose en una de las propuestas más impactantes de Netflix.
