Netflix viewers have been captivated by a new series, with many claiming to have watched every episode within hours of its release. The programme, titled The Boroughs, has been described as utterly addictive, leaving audiences unable to switch off.
The show was thrust into the spotlight on TikTok after a user named Beth, known as Bethflix and Chill, shared a video praising it. Her post sparked considerable discussion, with numerous fans declaring the series brilliant and admitting they consumed it in a single sitting.
One viewer responded: "I binge-watched it last night. So good." Another added: "Watched it all on Saturday." A third commented: "Binged it yesterday! It was great." Others described it as a perfect choice for fans of Stranger Things, noting its blend of heart, humour and mystery.
Created by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews, and executive produced by The Duffer Brothers, The Boroughs launched on Netflix in May. It follows a group of residents in an idyllic retirement community who must unite to prevent an otherworldly force from taking the one thing they lack: time.
The cast includes Alfred Molina as Sam Cooper, Alfre Woodard as Judy Daniels, and Denis O'Hare as Wally Baker, with viewers praising their performances. One fan declared: "I really liked it, but the main character was brilliant."
