The Boroughs seems like an idyllic retirement community — but something is going bump in the night loud enough to disrupt a CPAP machine.
Over eight episodes, dropping on May 21, in this series produced by Stranger Things‘ Duffer Brothers, the action unfolds through the eyes of grumpy engineer Sam Cooper (an endearing Alfred Molina), who is contractually obligated to move into his tidy New Mexico home, even after his wife Lilly (Malcolm in the Middle‘s Jane Kaczmarek, in flashbacks) dies. “She was the one really pushing [their move to the Boroughs], so that they could be nearer to their daughter Claire [Jena Malone],” co-creator Jeffrey Addiss tells us. “And then Lilly passed away, but the contracts were signed and the house was bought. Sam ends up in this place that he didn’t really want to be, and would never want to be without her.”
