One of the things I love about good sci-fi is the way it can stretch the bounds of our imagination while also tapping into some of the most basic things about being human. Maybe that's why I ended up loving The Boroughs. The new Netflix series from Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews blends sci-fi with a bit of horror, mystery, thrills and adventure, all centered around a group of seniors living in a retirement home. I liked so much about the 8-episode first season, but there's one line, spoken in the finale, which really stuck with me.
🛑 Big spoiler warning - if you're not caught up on The Boroughs Season 1, I recommend making good use of your Netflix subscription and checking it out before reading it any further.
