The Boroughs - New on Netflix

[Freija]

So far I have watched the first episode and am hooked. I am also glad to have experienced a rare moment of self restraint because the entire season has been released at once and I didn't stay up all night binging it.

From the Duffer brothers, who brought us Stranger Things, this is akin to Stranger Things in a retirement community and it looks like it is going to be good. Nice cast too including Geena Davis who I might suggest "has had a little work done"?

I am pretty excited for this and now that things here have moved beyond the critical stage, I hope to catch the remaining episodes over the holiday weekend.

If you're watching, let's hear your thoughts

I'm hooked on it too! Watched the first two episodes last night. Scary cliffhanger endings.
I was a bit sad they killed off Bill Pullman so soon. I dig the vibe!
Geena Davis still looking pretty damn good. (on screen anyhow)

Good use here of selecting text from two different posts and using the multi-quote feature

I will even quote myself!

Because this:

Okay LOL, I am more than going to "suggest" she's had work done! Either that or she lives on a planet without gravity? She is 6" taller than I am so maybe the air is just different up there? But maybe that's all just envy from a woman a year older than she is? Nah!

She looks good though. I have always found her kind of attractive.

Unfortunately, I haven't had time to watch more than the first episode because this joint has sucked up all my time but I'm changing that tonight after making dinner.

Oh by the way, in the left toolbar group under the 3 dot dropdown menu, there is an inline spoiler tag you can click to see the blurred contents of because I didn't know Bill Pullman had died yet!

(Also leaving a note to myself that them quote thangs be ugly AF)

Damn, sorry about that and wow how cool is that... a spoiler tag!! That's awesome! Yea, agree the quote boxes are not great.

And that's the part people don't want to talk about.
The documents.
You can make fun of them hillbillies seeing swamp gas all you want, but then you've got to explain Nathan Twining's 1947 memo, right?
Absolutely, Art.
Absolutely.


The writer did his homework.

Displaying never before seen levels of self-control, I finally finished this series yesterday and gave it the double thumbs up rating.

I really loved it, the characters, the story, the casting and even the special effects... it was great. I really hope there is another season. Netflix has made some bad decisions about what they cancel and renew but I hope this is not the last of this one. Sign me up for season two now!

Finished it last night. Yep, I'm with you. Great show, all the characters were damn good. Hoping for a season 2.

Being made by the Duffer brothers I feel they worked easter eggs in. Like when they sent the Galaxie over the cliff is just like or probably even the same spot that they sent the Fairlane over the cliff in Thelma and Louise. I thought I saw a couple more but can't recall them all now.

Wife and I binged it last weekend, great series! Looking forward to season 2!
