Borderline

Folks, 8.2 is a very high rating for a television series, or a program of any kind. I spend quite a lot of time researching shows before I watch them, and I keep a list of those I decide to watch in a little black book, with notes and IMDB ratings. There's so much good stuff, on so many streaming platforms, that I rarely watch anything rated less than 7 or 7.2. I am always excited to look forward to something that's rated above 8. Now, I'm just finishing the second episode of Borderline and I have to say.... It's just not very good. It's not bad; it's just not very good. The writing is weak; the acting is spotty and includes some terrible performances; and some of the plot twists are ridiculous. If you like a good British or European cop show and you can find one rated above 8, well, you should count your good fortune. But this one's not it.
