The Boroughs on Netflix is a good show.

The Boroughs hit me so hard! I'm turning 40 so aging is on my mind a lot these days. My wife is a cancer survivor, so alive husband / dead wife always dredges up some powerful emotions. I'm an actual curmudgeonly engineer (software, granted, but I did work for Northrop Grumman). I have a daughter who I would love to see go into my field.

The Boroughs turned out to be way better than what Reddit implied about it. Yes, it is a bit of “older things” in the type of vibes it has, but it fits perfectly in the context of the narrative. The story hooked me from episode one and had no such thing as “be patient, it gets better after episode x”. I wouldn’t claim this is like an 8/10 or greater than that show, as the writing at points was honestly shit more than just questionable, and you don’t have to think deeply to predict a general overall story, but it’s a very well-made and entertaining binge able 7/10 show.

The Boroughs Heading For Cancellation ? The Boroughs had a pretty slow start in week one but found some momentum in week two, growing its viewing hours by 68%. Stacked up against shows from recent years—particularly other higher-budget titles—you can see it’s in some uncomfortable company with the likes of PULSE, Obliterated, and The Abandons. Fingers crossed that some of the internal data we don’t get to see is pointing in the right direction; otherwise, the planned three-season arc may never become a reality.
