    I want more of this

    Before I watched this show, I was like oh great another "mockumentary." But I was pleasantly surprised because it made me laugh several times.

    It's very reminiscent of The (U.S.)Office. Not just the format, but the overall vibe (the mundane setting, the quirky characters, etc.). I can already see a Jim and Pam...and a female Michael Scott...and a less angry more "dweeby" Dwight. The baggage guys? They're awesome.

    I don't know if it was the actual jokes or the way the different characters delivered them that makes the comedy so fresh, but I definitely want more.

    Kudos on the casting. More please. =)

    Worth a watch

    This show is one of the best comedies out at the moment. The character's relate to each other. But the one that stands out is guz khan great cameo from him

    Perfectly composed

    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.

    It's awesome! PS. Don't trust the negative reviews. It is British humor, not "the Office" humor.

    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!

      The series is "Retro-Scripted" in which the script is not pre-written and then acted out but instead a plot outline guides the cast as they improvise dialogue and actions in scenes.
