What makes Alice in Borderland worth watching
Netflix's biggest Japanese original.
Alice in Borderland represents a strong example of japan sci-fi from the 2020 production cycle. Japanese studios have spent the past decade refining the kind of long-form storytelling on display here — careful character work, restrained pacing in the early episodes, and a willingness to let emotional beats land without overstatement. The blend of Sci-Fi and Action elements gives the show its tonal signature, sitting somewhere between mainstream comfort viewing and prestige drama.
The cast is led by Yamazaki Kento, Tsuchiya Tao, Murakami Nijiro. It originally aired on Netflix, and has since travelled internationally through the streaming partnerships listed above.
