re: The Boroughs cancelled after 1 season

There was a time when they'd call this a mini series. A self contained story that was known to be one and done.

Now they pitch it as a 'new series', then just cancel it.

I called it Stranger Things with old people as well. It's what I thought of after the 2nd or 3rd episode.

They are similar in that a group of kid and now old people come across odd things/creatures and are on a mission to figure it out and expose it. Similar to the Hawkins Lab in Stranger Things there is this community run by guy that is hiding a secret and the old people are trying to expose it.

If you liked ST, you should give it a shot.
