And very shortly before the first season of Squid Game there was Alice In Borderland, which I enjoyed more.
A quick search shows me S3 is happening this year which makes my mind boggle because I though S2 wrapped that whole thing up nicely and completely.
- pandemic_region 2y agoI always thought AiB was inspired on Squid Game, surprised to hear it predates it! Love the series, it doesn't get the attention it deserves in the genre.
- ludston 2y agoIt's based on a manga. Or whatever the Korean equivalent is.
- Cyph0n 2y agoAlice in Borderland is based on a manga (Japanese). Korean “comics” are called manhwa.
- Nursie 2y agoPretty sure S1 of AiB was out around a year earlier than SG, in 2020. They both seem to go back a ways though - AiB is based on Manga that was serialised starting in 2010 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_in_Borderland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_in_Borderland And SG was apparently first written in 2009. And yes, I agree it should get more attention! There are obvious similarities, but AiB appeals to me more in its mysteriousness.
- 0xCMP 2y agoThey left a pretty heavy cliff-hangar in the very last few minutes of the last episode.
- nunez 2y agoIMO it was less a cliffhanger and more a hard cut
