From John Doyle of the Globe and Mail:
- The Border’s a crock
“The Border (CBC, 9 p.m.) ends its season tonight. The ICS team discovers that toxic sludge is being trucked across the border and dumped in the Canadian wilderness. They follow a trail to a vicious turf war between rival Italian gangs.” Read more.
Doyle… your a bitter lonely man.
“The Border” is a phenomenal show — Canadian or not — and tonight’s finale was both frustrating and intense (but in a good way).
I’d be interested to hear what John Doyle considers “good television”. I watched 40 shows regularly in 2008 (6 of them Canadian!) and I bet his list and mine barely cross. Many of the shows I watch are both successfully AND critically-acclaimed. “The Border” can’t be THAT bad for me to love it, can it?
I THOUGHT THE FINAL SEASON’S EPISODE WAS BRILLIANT!! THE ENDING WAS UNIMAGINABLE.
I agree with Linda. What a way to end the season. When does it start up again – I dont want to miss.
Very good season ending…classic scene at the job table…$250,000? And Mike’s face was perfect in the climactic shootout scene. It’s a very good show. The takedown scene was also outstanding.
