Borderline (2016–2017)
4/10
Nice try but...
7 January 2017
I like mockumentaries. I like The Office. I watched all the episodes of Borderline and was mildly amused occasionally, but It just doesn't work. They are trying way to hard to be The Office (USA). Similar characters and relationships. There is a sweet quirkiness about it and the acting is acceptable, but that can't overcome the serious flaws. First, the narration has to go as it adds nothing to the plot. Second, editing is horrible, jumping from situation to situation irregardless of the time line (which is probably why they thought the needed the narration). Finally, the writing is quite stunted and unimaginative. If the first episode does not intrigue you then be warned it doesn't get any better.
