Borderline

This show is great. The awkward humour is done perfectly, and the characters definitely draw you in. I've found myself laughing many times and even repeating jokes. The show's hilarious. Do not trust the reviewers who say it's "like the Office"... In a sense it is, as it's a mockumentary, but the people who are posting those reviews are comparing it to the Office (USA) because they are more than likely unaware that the Office (USA) took British humor and used Ameeican actors... They are Americans who think the Office was completely original humor, when it was practically a remake of a UK series by the same name. So they believe it is an Office ripoff...

It is not! It is funny, awkward, well-done British humor at it's finest. So if you enjoy shows like that (The Office USA being one of them) then I think you will like this show too!

It is shot the same way as the office and done well. The writing in this show is great, it's simple, funny and the put together great. There are no great joke lines, but the observation comedy written is spot on. While the writers will never win any awards, they should. The character of Clive, could have his own shown. He is the over the top and keeps catching me off guard with his commentary, causing uncontrollable bursts of laughter. The female "eye candy" Dandy Angy plays more of the straight character caught in the middle and doesn't get many great lines. The show puts her in a couple situations where she can draw some laughs though. A lot of comedies come off as corny, this is not one of them. Watch it and laugh. If you are Posh or a hipster, don't watch this. You won't get it.

This is so good. I thought the first season was great, but the second is even better! I don't care if people think it's too similar to The Office. Who cares? It's hilarious with great acting. This is my kind of humor. A lot of people just can't appreciate this kind of humor. I don't want to hang out with those people:)

Why are people in these reviews going on about The Office? It wasn't the first, or the best mockumentary. Borderline is perfectly composed. Understated and very funny. Somewhat reminiscent of Chris Langham's 'People Like Us'. All the main characters are sympathetically created and believable, just slightly twisted. Two series now. I hope there will be more.

Great acting, chemistry between actors/characters, and hilarious lines. Had me laughing out loud sometimes. Really wish I had more of this show to watch. I will recommend it to fans of The Office, it has that awkwardness and line delivery moments and feel to it, without being as cheesy. Great comedy.
