Netflix's abrupt cancellation of the high-profile sci-fi series The Boroughs sent shockwaves through the industry, not only because the cancellation seemed premature, but also because the show hailed from the Duffer Brothers. The brothers are best known for having created one of Netflix's platform-defining hits, Stranger Things. They served as executive producers on The Boroughs, which was marketed as their big return to sci-fi. The show premiered to excellent reviews on May 21, and around a month later, Netflix announced that it wouldn't be producing any more episodes. Coincidentally, the Nielsen ratings for the show's debut week were revealed the following day, and as it turned out, The Boroughs hadn't done as poorly as expected at all.
