The Duffer Brothers, the duo behind “Stranger Things, are trading Hawkins for a New Mexico retirement village. But this village isn’t just about shuffleboard and naps; something dangerous is hiding among the homes in “The Boroughs.”
Paradise with a Pulse (Barely)
Netflix’s new sci-fi series introduces us to Sam Cooper, a new resident who thinks his new community feels like a prison. Sam is convinced a monster is stalking the cul-de-sacs at night. And naturally, the authorities think Sam is just another confused old man. But some of the residents band together to hunt the truth and the creature.
The Ultimate A-Team
Sam teams up with a band of neighborhood misfits to fight back: a sharp-witted former journalist, a spiritual seeker, a cynical music manager, and a doctor with a dark secret. These seniors are overlooked and underestimated. That makes them dangerous.
A Cast of Legends
The talent roster is absolutely stacked with heavy hitters: Alfred Molina and Geena Davis are joined by Alfre Woodard and Denis O’Hare. There’s also Clarke Peters, Bill Pullman, Jena Malone, and Jane Kaczmarek.
High Stakes, Short Fuses
Showrunners Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews want you to ponder your mortality. “What will you do with the time you have left?” Addiss asks.
For these heroes, the clock is ticking faster than usual. Between the desert sun and the nighttime terrors, aging has never looked so intense. Forget bingo; these seniors are saving the world before their early bird special.
The good news is that you won’t have to wait long to witness the fight; Netflix will unleash “The Boroughs” on May 21!
