Smackie u Starts off strong. Then drops off abit towards the end but stick with it. Season 2 becomes much better. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/25 Full Review Audience Member My favourite drama i love it 😘🫰 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/25 Full Review Audience Member The first Season of the show is definitely worth a watch. even though it wasnt anything groundbreaking for me, I still think that when the explanation in s2 comes, the whole 1st season gets definitely better, because it still has way to many questions which aren't answered yet, the games also aren't the best but cinematic wise it definitely is amazing so far. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/25 Full Review Rose W This series is filled with jaw-dropping plot twists and lovable characters each with intriguing backstories and character development. Though complicated, once you're immersed in the depths of Borderland, you'll find yourself binge-watching episodes at 3 a.m. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review André M Make no mistake: the games are all based on absolute, pure luck (and not on merit, strategy, or strength) or even insanity. It is all about characters making completely absurd and incoherent deductions to escape death (which are not “genius” in any way, but rather insane and ridiculous). The storytelling is purely made in order to fulfill the sadistic desires of the modern audience to see human beings dying and suffering as much as possible and pretend that there is something deeper and meaningfull. Frankly, for a culture that gave us survivals like Battle Royale, the mediocrity of modern Japanese shows these days is simply pitiful. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/19/25 Full Review Audience Member The start is weird but the more you get used to the world it becomes better Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/25 Full Review Read all reviews
