Netflix<\/a> have come under fire from fans of the TV show The Boroughs, praising the Duffer Brothers-produced show following its cancellation after one season.<\/p>\n

The six-episode series starred Alfred Molina, Alfre Woodard, Geena Davis and Denis O\u2019Hare as residents of a retirement community that become confronted with a strange set of mysteries. It arrived last month to strong reviews and a warm fan reception, but was cancelled after one season<\/a>, with ratings declining as the season went on.<\/p>\n

Viewers have hit out at the decision, expressing their love for the show on X (formerly Twitter). \u201cTragedy \u2014 it was actually a cool show with a interesting premise\u201d wrote one user, with the same account commenting elsewhere: \u201cHuge bummer \u2014 first season was actually really interesting and unique!\u201d<\/p>\n

One fan despaired: \u201c@netflix cancelled The Boroughs \u2013 a great story from the Duffers (who created Stranger Things<\/a>). Great actors, meaningful themes, good story\u2026 so of course it got cancelled. Has Alfred Molina, Alfre Woodward, Geena Davis \u2013 worth watching. Sad \u2013 was even top viewed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Others pointed to Netflix cancelling shows before their time, such as Boots<\/a> and Ozark<\/a>. \u201cWe need to boycott Netflix cause this straight bs,\u201d wrote one. \u201cShow was 10\/10 like why tf do we still support this weak ass streaming services.\u201d Another exclaimed: \u201cThat\u2019s very dissappointing\u2026 great cast and writing. I just don\u2019t get it anymore\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

In a four-star review of the series<\/a>, NME wrote: \u201cLike Stranger Things, The Boroughs is hard to pigeon-hole. There are elements of family drama, shades of comedy and moments of schlocky horror, but it\u2019s just as intriguing as the Netflix hit\u2019s early years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, The Boroughs producers The Duffer Brothers stated that they would reveal the fate of Stranger Things character Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) in 2046.<\/a><\/p>\n
