Hot on the heels of Squid Game is Netflix’s latest binge-worthy Asian tv series, the Japanese Alice in Borderland. With similar themes, it’s hard not to draw comparisons between this and the aforementioned smash hit South Korean series, Squid Game. But with a frustratingly intriguing plot, Alice in Borderland definitely has the edge. Based on
