Let's get right to it: "Bordertown" is funny.
January 04, 2016
Don't worry: The terrific, boundary-busting comedy is an equal-opportunity barb tosser, taking aim at anyone who reduces serious issues to sound bites.
January 14, 2016
An equal-opportunity offender that energetically rips into multiples side of the immigration debate, with enough of an absurdist streak to balance out its snark.
January 04, 2016
Bordertown is a good example of how insipid and smug certain kinds of television can be when it tries to address contemporary issues.
January 04, 2016
The show is satirizing smug, middle-class white folks who resent any threat to their status quo, but the only viewpoints presented... are those of smug, middle-class white folks and smug, middle-class liberals who resent the white folks' resentment.
January 04, 2016
To be expected, it's a show full of jokes that would make you uncomfortable to laugh at in front of certain people, but at least the jokes are worth laughing at. For the most part.
January 06, 2016
Immigration satire is irreverent but relies on stereotypes.
January 04, 2016
Bud and Ernesto are each so one-dimensional that they seem caricatures not of the immigration issues but of a liberal, and very limited view, of the immigration issue.
January 04, 2016
Satire administered with a Wiffle ball bat. A dull thud, where there should be a sting.
