Matt Roush says...
You’re never too old to be a hero of your own story. That’s the takeaway from this entertaining eight-part supernatural romp from executive producers the Duffer Brothers and Emmy-winning creators Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews. In a reversal of the Duffers’ breakthrough hit Stranger Things, about kids battling monsters, The Boroughs features characters who could easily be their grandparents staging a “gray rebellion” against a sinister otherworldly force that’s stalking them in their sleep. The cast of veteran scene-stealers is led by Alfred Molina as the newly widowed Sam, a retired engineer who sees The Boroughs, a retirement community abutting the New Mexico desert, as a tomb, a trap. And that’s before he discovers that a creepy-crawly menace is in their midst. He’s soon joined by a crew including Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard, Clarke Peters, and Denis O’Hare, with Bill Pullman as the cul-de-sac’s friendliest chatterbox and Ed Begley Jr. as a troubled memory-care patient who warns of owls in the walls. The series is a welcome reminder that some things, and people, just get better with age.
