Netflix's Sci-Fi Series ‘The Boroughs’ Officially Marks the End of an Era

I recently binge-watched all eight episodes of a new Netflix sci-fi series about a compassionate group of characters who work together, fight evil, and support each other. The series has creatures, a unique setting, some odd reveals, and a tone that feels dark yet hopeful. No, I’m not talking about Stranger Things, although it definitely sounds like it. I’m reflecting on The Boroughs, the series executive-produced by the Duffer Brothers, which premiered on the streaming service on May 21, 2026.
