This could almost be forgiven if Nikolai wasn’t such a focal point through the series, throwing some serious questions up whether it may have benefited Borderliner’s integrity by switching the perspective to spunky Anniken instead.Her character is by far the most compelling and although she does nail a lot of the conventional tropes you’d expect from a police detective in a series like this, she’s by far the easiest to root for as she tries to get to solve the murder case under the anxious, watchful eyes of Nikolai. 0 out of 0 found this helpful. Good job! I have never felt so angry because so many questions were not answered. Some interesting explorations of themes, but its like other reviewers have said - the ending was terrible. But half-way through, the plot-lines kept changing and moving around so much it got annoying and confusing but mostly boring and repetitive.
They flip the usual script for a detective drama by having the main character spend most of his time trying to cover up a crime, rather than solving it. Was this review helpful? Wow. The only real action took place when the children had centre stage.. and the end?
should have done my laundry instead. Was this review helpful? Whether there’ll be more of this story to come in the future is anyone’s guess but based on what’s here, Borderliner ends with far too many unanswered questions making it a difficult one to recommend, even if the journey to the finale is mildly entertaining. You can't end an 8 part series with the last scene - as if it has a next episode, next week.
If you want to call it an ending. I hung on for all the episodes.
The soundtrack complements the action reasonably well. . if that's how norwegian police really is, all the criminals should move there and have a ball. He thought he was covering up a case of self-defense.
Also, I don't mind when the main character in a series is gay (and no one in the story seemed to care that he was either), but it seemed to me this was thrown in because it has become trendy to do so. 26 out of 46 found this helpful. 11 out of 13 found this helpful. Early on, Borderliner holds a lot of promise and the story works well; the cat and mouse game between Nikolai (Straight and narrow police detective Nikolai is the main protagonist here and early on we see him stand up for what he believes in, testifying against a fellow colleague. The protagonist does some very bad things, but for what he thinks are the right reasons. Is it a mini-series for TV yet to be concluded or is it intended as a stand-alone film? The things we do for love. Just a "cliff hanger" to keep us guessing and wondering - ripped off viewers big-time. So disappointed. It would have been an 8 or even 9, if the ending did not leave me wondering if there was an episode 9 and netflix has missed it.

First few episodes were great. It's like they ran out of budget, time and story. 5 out of 8 found this helpful. Did they run out of budget? When Nikolai’s brother Lars (As a thriller, Borderliner certainly has its moments and each episode ends on a cliffhanger too, enticing you to keep watching through to the next episode. complete waste of time. This drama asks you to believe that the hero was a good man and then proceeds to show just how duplicitous and stupid a 'good' man can be. There’s a good array of characters here although the deeper into the series you get the more frustrating it becomes to watch Nikolai and Lars jump from one incredulously illogical decision to the next to try and throw the police off their scent. Just the cinematography is incredible, but the story telling is first rate as well . Was this review helpful? Story is simple but becomes interesting when other story lines enter the mix, a cop covers up a murder committed by a fellow cop and brother, not knowing the depths of the conspiracy involved, and gets caught up in admittedly complicated situation. It's in Norwegian with English subtitles. .
Very stressful watch and really hope there's a season 2. Within the thriller format, a homosexual sub plot is nestled within the episodes although at times it does feel more contrived and ham-fisted into the narrative than it perhaps should be.With numerous plot holes, a clumsy pacing and a truly woeful ending, Borderliner is a disappointing police thriller to say the least.
After 8 long episodes of trying to follow the mixed timelines and unbelievable actions of the main characters, the abrupt ending topped it all off! And it started so well. I was rather pleasantly surprised to find that the main character was actually gay. If you are binge watching you will be so disappointed. 1 out of 1 found this helpful.

4 out of 9 found this helpful. Nordic series and movies are my favorite. as long as you are willing to pay close attention. While the series as a whole is quite enjoyable, the silliness of some choices by the lead actor can only be a result of the writers not being clever enough to devise more believable plot twists.
