Netflix sci-fi show features retirement community

Netflix is releasing a new science fiction series titled 'The Boroughs,' which draws inspiration from classic '80s sci-fi adventures. The show follows a familiar narrative structure of a group of friends banding together to confront an otherworldly threat. However, 'The Boroughs' introduces a unique twist by setting its story within a retirement community, with the protagonists being individuals in their 70s. This premise offers a fresh perspective on the established trope of young heroes saving the day, blending nostalgic sci-fi elements with an unconventional cast and setting.
