Alice in Borderland is a dystopian series that combines elements of the battle royale and survival game genres. This second season is significantly better than the first, with more interesting games and well-developed characters. While the first season showed the darker sides of humanity, this season showcases more positive traits such as determination, camaraderie, selflessness, empathy, and hope.

The ending felt like a whole a season onto itself. So much happened in that last episode. It was tempting to go from the previous episode right into the last one, and I’m glad I held off to watch it the next day. It’s really a lot to mentally and emotionally unpack.

While I initially wanted to give this season a perfect score, I can't support the portrayal of sexual assault and the justification of the perpetrator's actions due to his past experiences with bullying. His attempts to rape the female lead and his reasoning that "because people are bad, he will be bad" is not acceptable. The whole time he's portrayed as a victim of his past, and the way to save him is to show him kindness. That is fine, but the problem lies in him never acknowledging his harmful behavior and never showing remorse for them either.
