Upside Down Pictures' string of post-Stranger Things releases continues with Netflix’s new 8-part sci-fi, The Boroughs. If you expected it to be another Spielbergian pastiche, just with older people as the heroes rather than children, then you’re only half right. The Boroughs is both a mystery and a memento mori. When “The Grey Rebellion,” fronted by Alfred Molina, uncovers an otherworldly threat preying on the residents of their senior living facility, they embark on a dangerous pursuit and are asked to confront not just how to kill a monster, but how far they are willing to go to revisit their youth.

Aging comes with its own set of challenges — sickness, decline in cognitive abilities, and invisibility from society. Older people face specific prejudices, as people brush off their ideas as fantasies of an aging mind. At a certain point, many older people move into elder care facilities, whether by choice or at the insistence of their loved ones. Unfortunately, some of those facilities do not have the residents' best interests at heart, but they will advertise themselves as heaven on Earth. These are the ideas explored in Netflix's upcoming horror series, premiering tomorrow, May 21.
