Netflix stunned both audiences and observers recently when it announced that The Boroughs, the new sci-fi series executive-produced by the Duffer Brothers, had been cancelled after only one season. What made the announcement all the more surprising was that the streamer had clearly invested heavily in the show, which had only been released a month earlier. Netflix typically waits longer before pulling the plug on titles, especially one this high-profile. The move certainly attracted speculation, especially with the Duffer Brothers having recently signed a deal with Paramount. Chalk it down to bad timing, but a day after the show was canceled, the Nielsen report revealed that it had accumulated a rather solid 1.2 billion minutes watched in its first full week.
