Shows that feel likeAlice in Borderland (2020–2025)

With his two friends, a video-game-obsessed young man finds himself in a strange version of Tokyo where they must compete in dangerous games to win.

If you loved Alice in Borderland, the closest series we have are Yellowjackets (2021), Servant (2019) and Cruel Summer (2021). All three share Alice in Borderland's twisty and contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Behind Her Eyes (2021).

People discovering what they will do once the rules stop applying

The difference: Split across two timelines, and the horror is psychological, not staged

This equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story and coming-of-age drama tells the saga of a team of wildly talented high school girls soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later.
