So recently, I watched both Alice in Borderland and Squid Game to completion...
Pretty heavy stuff back to back... definitely lots of gore and other very distressing material to be aware of...

Honestly, I think Alice in Borderland had a higher shock factor that affected me more than Squid Game did.
Like, more scenes in Alice in Borderland made me actually physically cringe.
Both were good in their own right and I enjoyed watching them.

I hope Alice in Borderland gets a second season because... with that ending, it definitely needs one.
I think this is the first drama starring Yamazaki Kento I've ever seen, now that I think about it.
Also, it was interesting seeing Machida Keita play his role considering I've only ever seen his acting in Cherry Magic LOL
(Speaking of Cherry Magic, I've been tempted to pick up the Blu-Ray box because it has English subtitles included and I want to support however possible in hopes for a second season, but also that would involve spending more money than I should be spending at the moment...)

On the other hand, I think Squid Game would be fine with or without a second season.
I think something like a prequel would be good for that.

Not sure what to start next, I have a number of J-dramas in my backlog to get through.
Was considering watching Shitsuren Chocolatier to see the pitiful ChocoJun in action, but also I still need to finish Nemesis, so...
In terms of Western shows, I keep hearing a lot about Succession, so that has me intrigued as well...

Too much to watch, too little time
