This review is from: The Border - Season one (Boxset) (DVD)
This is a slick, well done series describing the border protection actions of the Canadian immigration and customs enforcement group, with a US liaison officer active in most episodes.
A previous reviewer stated that there was no anti-US element to these shows, that is clearly incorrect as every episode, at least in season one, has an underlying theme of the big bully to the south and the sensitive and compassionate approach to things the superior Canadians take (other than their political masters who come off very poorly -- and in close cooperation with the US).
That said, and if you can ignore the occasional anti-US diatribe, the episodes are tight, well paced with excellent acting and solid direction. The stories are topical and the action is realistic.
I would recommend this series as both entertainment, and an education on Canadian intellectuals feelings towards the US.
