The Border - Season Two (Boxset) Reviews
| 7 of 8 people found the following review helpful:  Under Reviewed, Under Appreciated and Perhaps the Best Kept Secret this Side of Vernonica Mars!, By This review is from: The Border - Season Two (Boxset) (DVD) OK, so yes this is a CBC (Canadian Broadcast Company) series and is to my knowledge not the easiest to find (AKA watch on a regular basis) or even purchase South of the border. However, I am shocked that even on the Canadian and UK Amazon sites that there is nary a review for season 1 or 2. Grace Park and Nazneen Contractor sharing the same frame (who "out hots who?") should almost be enough to watch and subsequently generate a few reviews.

This is fixed very fast and from then on it is comparable, and in many cases, better, to most US made submissions. The acting is outstanding, the stories are arresting and the characters intriguing. The best part is that the actors are "regular joes", not the standard Hollywood output of beautiful and very smart women without a hair out of place and male models. But, as with so many good series, it was cancelled after season 3, much to my, and many others, disappointment. Highly recommended for thinking people. |
