The Boroughs Is More Spielberg Than Stranger Things Despite the Duffer Brothers’ Involvement
The new series The Boroughs strives to recapture the feel-good, scary-fun qualities of 1980s Amblin-produced movies such as The Goonies and Gremlins. While a Netflix show going for Steven Spielberg vibes understandably makes one think of Stranger Things – the Duffer Brothers even serve as executive producers here – The Boroughs isn’t merely Stranger Things with old people instead of kids, as creators/showrunners Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews recently explained to IGN.
