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. =)

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.
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
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.
As a Border Force Officer myself I was pleasantly surprised to see just how funny and realistic this is. Not everything we do revolves around standing at a desk checking travel documents - we get our fair share of all types of humanity and this is reflected nicely with the same bit of gallows humour that keeps us sane on a 14 hour extended shift.
