What Season 1 of Alice in Borderland

Ryōhei Arisu is a video game enthusiast who finds himself with two friends in a parallel version of Tokyo, desolate and almost empty. No one explains what happened. To stay alive, they must compete in life-or-death games, and the season is driven by one question: how do you escape a city that seems to never end, and what price must be paid to try? Each challenge pushes them to distrust one another, to hold on, or to flee from their pursuers. Kento Yamazaki and Tao Tsuchiya lead the cast of this Netflix adaptation of Haro Aso's manga, directed by Shinsuke Sato.
