Borderline (2016–2017)
9/10
A Fun Show
29 December 2018
I don't have a lot to say that hasn't already been said in other reviews. It's a fun show. It's pretty amusing if you like the style of humor used in the show.

I don't get the people who gave it an absolutely horrible rating. It is a workplace comedy show, which has been done a million times... And a mockumentary, which has also been done a million times... So has everything else. There's really not been any completely new territory to break in film/tv since probably the 60s. If you know your stuff, and know the real "first to do it" films/shows for many things that people thought were brilliant and new 40 years later, you know the Office wasn't the first mockumentary. Out of sequence filming, shaky cam, and every other "new" clever thing is also very old. That's not a reason to bag on something, just because it has all been done before... But this one is a pretty well executed and funny show. A 1 star show this is not!

The characters are likable, the comedy is solid. Not much else to say. If you like British humor, it is probably your cup of tea.

I watched this towards the end of 2018, and tried to see if a series 3 was planned... Couldn't find anything. I hope they do another series, as I would certainly watch it!
